Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf is on his way home, he made a landmark trip to Latin America this month, and now he is wrapping up a two day visit in the United Kingdom. It is in London where he has made some waves, in an interview with the BBC Musharraf stated that he felt the war on terror has made the world more unsafe (this is a man who has survived a number of assassination attempts- he should know). He went on to state that the war had to expand its reach to alleviate the root causes terrorism, in his opinion that means eradicating poverty and illiteracy. In addition Musharraf pushed for a speedy exit strategy in Iraq.

In other Musharraf news, security documents from his state visit were found on a street in Mayfair, London. Scotland Yard is investigating how they wound up with last night’s garbage.
