The Bhutto family is the power elite of Pakistan and is very popular. Benazir is more popular than Musharraf but Musharraf has the military solidly behind him.

This coalition greatly strengthens the central government and will likely prevent civil war.

The Taliban and AQ are definately going to be very unhappy about this.

The NW tribal areas have never been governed by Pakistan but this coalition could collect enough political will to either invade or make them autonomous and independent, either way is good for us.
