#1 This is wishful thinking on the part of the jihadi supporters. Carter advised the Shah to leave. Bush (and Hu) will encourage Musharraf to put down the rebellion by any means necessary. With US troops in Afghanistan and Indian and Chinese troops at Pakistan's borders, I seriously doubt that al Qaeda will be allowed to establish a state of its own in Pakistan.

#2 Pakistan is a house of cards. No real changes are being made to curb the radical islamic forces in the general population. Once Musharraf is gone, a new strongman will be needed quickly. Should one appear quick enough, he may or may not be sympathetic to the US and WOT, total chaos in any event is likely to ensue. It's just jim dandy that a society that more and more idolizes the 7th century (thanks to the Saudi Wahabies) has nuclear weapons.
