Pakistan Found
The tragic bombing in Karachi has firmly placed the spotlight on Pakistan with the international press giving the country badly needed coverage. The Weekly Standard, (my favourite news'zine!) leads with "While Pakistan Burns," the cartoon on the cover is sad and funny; whereas Newsweek, in a moment of composed and restrained reportage, has decided to dedicate its most recent issue to "The most dangerous country in the world [which] isn't Iraq. Its Pakistan."
The Atlantic Monthly links its Paksitan story with an old, rather insightful, article on Suicide Bombings in Israel titled "The Logic of Suicide Terrorism."
