While Pakistan, IE musharrif is seemingly cooperating with the anti terrorism coalition....dont fool yourself...one bullet to musharrif's brain could
end this and turn pakistan into a full fledged member of the terrorist sponsoring nations....or at least plung them into a chaotic potentially civil
war like situation.
I hope musharrif sticks around for a long while because under his millitary takeover, things have at least been mostly stable as far as relations with
the west as well as by not escalating the india/cashmere situation.
If pakistan goes nutty, India will become way more defensive and potentially agressive..the entire region will flare up right next to china....and
china doesnt want to have to divert energies to a regional conflict any more than anybody else does. By cooperating and assisting in the war on
terror, pakistan gains alot of credibillity and recognition at the table of nations. By goingv into a taliban induced tailspin, they becomev part of
the problem.
I think osama is IN pakistan now. but some of the radical taliban sympathizesr hiding there (because the USA wont go in to not further frustrate
musharif's internal prblems) could keep him wel hidden for a long time.
