So here's us, on the raggedy edge.

The Swedes have ended our unbeaten streak: it had to end for one team—both were unbeaten.
Blaming Al Qaeda for the death of Benazir Bhutto is convenient, to be sure, and American media have dutifully repeated the story with not much in the way of questioning. While newspapers seem happy to question the account of how Bhutto died, there’s not much debate over who set the bomb.
Blaming Al Qaeda, of course, gives Pervez Mushareff a perfect excuse for canceling elections (civil unrest is assured with the World’s Greatest Terrorists™ responsible) and the U.S. government the perfect excuse for extending its mission in Afghanistan.
Surely, the theory goes, no one will withdraw from the Coalition of the Willing in the face of this latest blow against democracy.
Yeah, right.
Just make sure you still vote Democratic, Americans. Don’t be fooled by this.
