Iran Khan in hospital
May 8^th, 2013 at 3:48pm

Former Pakistani cricket captain and now leader of the Movement for Justice Party will have to watch this weekend's election from a hospital bed.

Though around 100 people have died in the campaign, Khan's injuries were accidental. He fell from a forklift when about to address a rally. He suffered head and spinal injuries.

Some of the opposing parties have temporarily suspended campaigning out of respect. It has been predicted that Movement for Justice may gain enough votes to play a part in forming a government.

Guess Pakistan's version of OSHA is sleeping on the job or Khan ignored the warning labels about needing a safety harness when operating on an elevated forklift deck. Stupid is as stupid does.

No I don't, nor did I ever say I did.

But if I were Pakistani, I would not be well disposed to the Yanks. They armed and trained the Northern Alliance, which then morphed into the Taliban, one of Pakistan's greatest problems.

They also bomb Khan's country without consultation or permission. What's there to like?
