You just might get it. Washington DC wanted an election in Pakistan. Welcome to politics-Muslim style. Like so many others, I watched the news in more than a little shock that Benazir Bhutto had been assassinated. The media have been endless speculating what this means for US policy and the

I’m still trying to figure out if I agree with this: Who I would be in the 14th century. Your Score: The Harlequin You scored 44% Cardinal, 38% Monk, 41% Lady, and 45% Knight! You are a mystery, a jack-of-all-trades. You have the king’s ear, but also listen to murmurings
