What’s the bet? Paki is going to end up a strict Muslim State ruled by Extreme Ideologists who will increase indoctronization of the people. That means -
- More playground for Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda wannabes to organize, be funded, train and plan projects. It will be a very good headquarters to springboard for international activities.
- Increase of old family custom values like Honor Killings and much more.
- And Paki is Nuclear capable already, so they will be ahead of Iran.
Do you think any of this puts a kaboshe on Nice President Mesiah Obama’s current Nice Plans to resolve Afghanistan?
Power struggle threatens to paralyze politics in nuclear-armed government http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29701369/
LAHORE, Pakistan - Pakistan’s opposition leader defied house arrest on Sunday to join anti-government protests that quickly descended into violence and chaos, with running battles between stone-throwing protesters and police.
The power struggle between Pakistan’s president and the opposition leader Nawaz Sharif threatens to paralyze the government and, alarmingly for the U.S., distract the nuclear-armed country from its fight against Taliban militants operating along the Afghan border.
Hundreds of police surrounded the Lahore residence of Sharif, a former prime minister, before dawn on Sunday and detained him along with scores of his supporters, a party spokesman said.
