The linked article states:

"If Pakistan's upcoming election goes as expected, Asif Ali Zardari, widower of assassinated leader Benazir Bhutto, will succeed Pervez Musharraf as the country's next president, giving Zardari at least partial sway over the Muslim country's nuclear arsenal. Concerns spiked last week with the disclosure of medical records indicating that as recently as last year, doctors hired by Zardari had diagnosed him with mental problems including dementia, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. While Zardari's spokespeople say he has been cured, multiple U.S. officials, among them Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, told NEWSWEEK that word of Zardari's mental-health history took them by surprise. "Typically," said Hoekstra, "[The U.S.] wouldn't want that kind of person" involved in a nuclear chain of command."

With threats like this (and there are many more known and unknown examples out there) it is very important that we (the US voters) take our voting responsibility (yes, RESPONSIBILITY) very seriously this November. More importantly (since about half of us will be on the "losing" side), we must all strive for cooperation once the election is over. We have much bigger fish to fry than arguing who is right or wrong.
