I listened to a very long and detailed interview with an expert
on Pakistan history and politics on CBC radio
T.W., do you have a link to the interview? If not,
please tell us the name of the show, to facilitate googling.
My gut* tells me that it's horrified by "fires in every city in
Pakistan" and anxiously anticipating worse to come; wondering why
no one has claimed credit for Bhutto's murder; deeply worried about
how this affects regional politics; deeplier worried about what's
going on in the Northwest Province; struggling to find expression
for its fury/despair/nausea re our invasion of Iraq; deepliest
worried about those nukes.
My heart extends much love to Benazir Bhutto's family, experiencing
a laser-specific loss in the midst of global attention and
speculation; and more hope to the Pakistanis facing whatever's
coming.
*I used to think that the organ of reason and emotions is the
brain, until I learned that the gut runs the DHS.
