I wonder howcome none of the anti-nuke fanatics are bitching about the US weapons of mass destruction and their factories, which are, basically, dirty breeder reactors. I wonder what the US gov't weapons program does with its reactor waste? Thanks, Rich

The obvious alternative to what you are doing at the moment would be to put serious pressure on him to hold free and open elections to elect a democratic government to replace him. In fact "Musharraf continues to enjoy strong support of the White House and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld", who don't seem to have a problem with Musharraf's little games with the Pakistan Electoral College - but Dubbya would be sympathetic there, wouldn't he. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervez_Musharraf -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen
