Titles, Sickness and Trouble in Pakistan

My blog has a name! For now at least: Krouzin'. I like it. Deb wins the special prize! Her other suggestions were quite good as well. I also want to thank Eldad (not surprisingly) for the funniest suggestion - "Red, White and Jew" - and Lindsey (not surprisingly) for the most obscure: "Diaries of a Cantonese Necrophile".

So I guess on Blogs are like a diary. Well, today I was weathering some illness. I don't like to ever admit I'm sick unless I'm really, really sick, and I'm not. I slept from midnight till 11am, then napped from 1pm to 2pm and again from 4 to 5pm. I was very tired all day, but it was cool, because I got to read and write and work with my photos, and of course, blog. Again, as if you cared.

Finally, I want to give my take on the troubles in Pakistan. Former Prime Minister and opposition leader Benazhir Bhutto was assasinated there yesterday. I felt sad. I don't know much about Pakistan, but I do know a lot about US foreign policy, and I'd bet the farm the US probably had something to do with it. Who knows? Either way, if it was current Prime Minister Musharaf and / or the Pakistan Intelligence Service, we've had a long, sordid history of supporting both with weapons, training and intelligence. Either way, what few Americans know is that nuclear-armed Pakistan, nestled between Iran, Afghanistan and India, is teetering on the verge of collapse as its US-backed dictator faces a growing domestic rebellion and is responding with brutal repression. My guess will be Musharaf won't be able to weather this storm. God knows what will happen.

Thanks mom for reading! Mom?
