My Comment: Pakistan's inability or unwillingness to stop terrorism is the root reason of why this bombing happen today. The Danish cartoons are just one of many off the wall excuses for this bombing to occur. The fact of the manner is that this bombing is just a continuation of what has been a never ending spiral of political and economic instability within the country. The bloodshed and tribal warfare in Pakistan is now starting to dwarf the conflict in Iraq, and unlike Iraq there is no light at the end of the tunnel for this conflict.
