Well, i think that the world would be much safer if all of Pakistan's nukes were removed, but i doubt Musharaff did that to avoid an Indo-American invasion ....especially the Indian part. Musharaff has been largely a buffer, basically keeping a potentially hyper-volatile situation just under its ignition point. If Musharaff goes India will be faced with the possibility that the new Pakiland leader will be an Islamic nut! They may (i emphasize may) decide to carry out a massive pre-emptive nuke strike in the hope of wiping out most or all of Pakistan's bombs. I do not think Mushy acting like a matyr will make things any better.

However at the same time i am glad Khan has been exposed.

Weird ....i am glad but also a bit troubled. Something complex is going on over there.

It has surprised me also. Musharraff definitely knows he's greatly increased the number of people PO'd at him who would like to shorten his presidency. When the story first broke, I didn't think anyone would Really go after Khan. But we'll still have to wait and see. It's sounds like his confession might have gotten him off the hook quite a bit. No trial....that's a big plus....gets it out of international headlines.
Keep in mind that U.S. and the rest of world, found out about Pakistan's nuc dealings, and with all the scientists being arrested and questioned, there really wasn't a whole lot Musharraff could do to protect Khan. The cat was already out of the bag. Now Musharraff's problem is..."what do I do with Khan?" Seems he may get light punishment since he confessed. It will be interesting......hope Musharraff has tripled his body guards and doesn't plan much travelling.
