International News Update!

   So the new US Chief Justice has had a seizure apparently. Interesting.

   As you may recall I had previously mentioned that President Musharraf of Pakistan had been trying to remove their Chief Justice from his position using the kind of twisted interpretation of constitutionality usually reserved for student governments.
   Anyway, Musharraf, who as you may recall successfully overthrew the previously elected president and has held on to power for eight years, has been unable to topple the Chief Justice. The legal system and concerned citizens stood behind Chief Justice Chaundhry and he was restored to his full position. He presumably will go on to hear challenges to Musharrafs power.


   And Russia has withdrawn from the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty. NATO members of course have officially expressed grave concern .. but thats only a formality as I don't think anyone is really concerned that Russia has the conventional military forces to do anything alarming at all.
