"So, with Zardari in power, are you now afraid for your own safety?" Fatima considered for a second before answering: "Well, I am certainly very afraid for this country," she said. "Even before Zardari, this was a country where anything can happen, a country that regularly disappears its own people. The state here is, in the worst way, expedient. You just don't know what's waiting for you, especially if you stand up and say what you think. And I have never been an especially diplomatic person. I certainly don't belong to the silent majority."
