this is tragic...but i guess they are the growing pains of any emerging, transforming nation... i was really hoping to "pop" into Nepal if I had any free time in Bangladesh, but doesn't seem likely now.
Quoted: Violence marred the eve of a historic election designed to bolster peace in Nepal, as officials on Wednesday confirmed the killings of at least eight people in three separate incidents.

Bad move. Reminiscent of US training of Afghan troops to fight against the Soviets. Granted the corruption of the Pakistani government and military, this does not bode well for the future. Given several evidence of Pakistani military involvement with Taliban and Al Queda forces, a strengthening of the military without FIRST securing a stable government cannot possibly be a rational foreign policy move on part of the Bush Administration...this is discomforting to say the least.
Quoted: A plan would send about 100 American trainers to work with a Pakistani paramilitary force that is the vanguard in the fight against Al Qaeda.

Quoted: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Two bombs ripped through a Pakistani army bus and a commercial district in a city near the capital on Tuesday, killing at least 24 people, the army said.
my prediction: Pakistan is at a flashpoint, which will lead to a deadly civil war, in the near future. Islamic militants are gaining more power to oust Musharraf, and unless someone is appeased sometime soon, the country will be on the brink of war.

My article on "A Dream in Doubt," a documentary on post-9/11 anti-Sikh violence in the U.S., and on an anti-Sikh hate crime that took place on I-5 in Seattle. Sad.
1 FaverViewed: 7 TimesQuoted: In the years following September 11, 2001, America has struggled to make sense of a tragedy, turning a scrutinizing eye at the country’s role in world affairs and its immigration policies. In one form, this scrutiny has morphed into an attempt to seek out and retaliate against a tangible “enemy.”
