I saw that, Novak's column is on WaPo as well. He seems to be arguing for Bush administration complicity in the security breakdown. Weird to hear from Novak, the former Cheney spokesperson. On the street in Pakistan, all this is contributing to the impression that all Bush cares about and has ever cared about there is keeping Musharraf in place, and was possibly willing to look the other way on a Bhutto assassination to achieve it. Believe it or not, it isn't culture of customs that have people hating Bush there, it's the belief that Bush is against democracy in Pakistan.
