President Asif Ali Zardari warns that Taliban extremists could take advantage of the flood crisis. He suspects that Taliban may kidnap children dislocated by the flooding and put them in terrorist training camps.In an Interview to a British News Agency, President denied the flood crisis bungling and defended his handling of the situation. President said the ideal hope for the radical is that hopefully the structure of the state will fail, but he will evolve and come out the winner.When asked about the chance of military coming again into power, he said I don't think anybody in their right mind would want to take responsibility; it's only democracy that can carry the yoke.President said there will be disappointments, so political forces are there for that reason. We will rebuild Pakistan a better place. But in between we'll have to go through the trauma of bad medicine, good medicine, pain; we'll have to live through that.Zardari said the foreign trip had allowed him to build his relationship with David Cameron and French president Nicolas Sarkozy.It gives me a reassurance that I'm so wanted, said Zardari. I am so wanted and so desired by people, that they say 'why are you out?' I have my own reason for being where I was at what time. I know that this is a long-term situation, and one has to have the capacity to sustain oneself for three years and not exhaust yourself immediately, he added.
