Not good. Elsewhere in Pakistan, a few hours earlier, four supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif died when members of another political party opened fire on them at a rally near the Islamabad airport Friday, local police said. Honestly, places like Pakistan are a long way off being able to have an effective democracy in place. Their whole nation is built on tribalism, religious fundamentalism and using violence to take/gain/maintain power. How can you expect something good to result in a democratic ballot from that? Hell, it gets dirty and nasty enough in the West with smear campaigns, attacking TV commercials, supporters abusing each other, etc. Imagine all that in a shithole like Pakistan.
