What is the “Swat region”?
democracy in Pakistan?
Time for President Obama to send in the troops to do the job that Musharraf won’t do.
It’s a region in the N.W. of Pakistan named Swat

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf on Saturday declared a state of emergency after militants said they had captured two police stations and 120 security forces, state TV reported.
“The chief of army staff has proclaimed a state of emergency and issued a provisional constitutional order,” a newscaster on Pakistan TV said.

The West will not find this to their liking. They had pressed Musharraf to cut a deal with Benazir Bhutto to transition back to democratic processes, hoping that the deal would give them both a stronger political position and marginalize the Islamists. The radicals have their own agenda, however, and have worked to destabilize the political situation before the alliance between Bhutto and Musharraf could have any effect.
A declaration of emergency means the upcoming parliamentary elections will not take place as scheduled in January. That will almost certainly split Bhutto from Musharraf, and it will mean that Musharraf will have to rely on his power base with the Army. That may not hold firm in a protracted fight against Islamist rebels, as the military’s morale has already been questioned. It’s a dangerous situation, and the declaration makes it even more so.
