Pakistan is really 4 or 5 countries that have been held together by military intimidation and Islamic ideology / theology. There is a large Shia minority that is sympathetic to Iran (just as in Afghanistan).

Think about this, the military is walking away from this region because it cost in terms of politics is too high. This is the same military that has sponsored a low intensity conflict in Kashmir against a powerful neighbor.

Pakistan will eventually turn on us, when it does, it is going to be very dangerous for the US and India. Do not forget the Red Chinese are allied with Pakistan and are trying to create closer ties with Iran.

A new power realignment is happening in South Asia.

Unfortunately many folks on FR can't seem to grapple with the reality you talk about & consider that an illegitimate Dictator's autobiography will give an authentic description of Pakistan & it's future.The Punjabi dominated army is not the solution to Pakistan's problems-it is THE PROBLEM.

I am really surprised by the lack of postings on this article.

It is scary to think that this is happening and the Maim Stream Press is asleep at the wheel.

I do not trust President Musharraf simply because...well... he is Muslim heading up some of the most radical people on the face of this earth.

I am waiting for some smart individual to tell how I am wrong?

I think before it is all said and done and history is written, that this will be one of President Bush's major failings, trusting Muslims is never a good idea.

I pray for our president but now is not the time to play both sides of the street with the religion of PIECE.

I am surprised too at the lack of interest

Could it be that the Democrat Dirty Tricks Squad has finally driven the conservative moderate to the sidelines for the coming election.

Tell a big lie long enough and uninformed voters will buy into the scam.

If the Democrats do take back both houses it will be a sad day for all those who thought they would get a better government.
