#1 Maybe Musharraf is not as courageous as he should be it is pity and a great loss for Pakistan.

#2 From all that I've read, and I have made an effort to follow it all, Pakiland is well beyond hope - and Musharraf is screwed, no matter what he tries to do. The entire place seems divided into a myriad number of equally insane factions - and this includes everyone: the military, the rainbow of "religious" twits, secular progressives, political parties, and the general public.

Is there any hope, any at all, for Pakiland? Perhaps a radioactive smoking hole on a calm day is about the best that the rest of the world can hope for.

I defer to Fred, Paul Maloney, and the others who have made the Herculean effort to make sense of it and keep up with all of the players. Perhaps they can prognosticate / oraculate whither Pakiland goeth.

#3 I would not be suprised if Pakistan becomes a mixture of Somalia and Afghanistan with Nuclear weapons and 300 million people.

#5 It seems to me that the Paks have been so brainwashed, they are quite happy to let Pakland burn for the cause. In the same way that a suicide bomber is willing to blow himself up if it means a few Jews would get killed, Pakland seems to be wearing a giant suicide belt when it comes to India. They are willing to tolerate and in fact encourage all the internal strife if they can direct just some of it in India's direction. I really think that everyone needs to help pakland achieve martyrdom once and for all.
