Why does everyone think that Pakistan is a country which has not thought about the issue of what happens if something were to happen to Musharraf? why do they think mullahs dominate the country and can play with our nukes. And as far as USA goes the general opinion is that they will dump us when the Taliban problem is over and that seems a long way from here.
And our army is not greedy, or money crazy and has given many a sacrifice for this country!
And by the way why are they debating what happens if Musharraf is killed………..

Pakistan’s Nuclear War Heads more Vulnerable by its army rather than
Pakistani Mullahs whom are controlled by army.
Pakistani army is world’s most greedy and blackmailer army in the world. There are thousands of greedy Army officers in Pakistani Army ranks who will easily will trade nuclear arsinals for cash.
On the other hand Musharraf made millions while in the office and busy to help his home boys(MQM) in sind and Balochistan to grab as much land and arms amunation as they can in case of civil war situaition particular in sind. Thats how this country has been running since its creation. Cash first than the country and its poor people.

I agree susan. Indians have never accepted the partition with open mind. They have this pain in the ass kind of attitude towards Pakistan, no matter. Nukes are not toys which can be put into a shopping bad and fired from a rifle. There many nukes disappeared from earlier Soviet Union states and no one knows where are they… So better think about those who is having suitcase nuke bombs….Mushraff lives or die, no body would weep for him in Pakistan. People in Pakistan are concerned about their bread and butter more than useless issue. The media normally shows a few crazy people who are often paid to do media shows and scare West and extract $$$$$$……..so wake uppppppppppppppppp

I read this crap with amused interest. It appears that the writer was punch drunk with cheap Indian booze or was sufficiently ‘high’ with marijuana or hashish while scabbing these incoherent lines!

The truth is Pakistan’s Shiites do not want Musharraf in Power.

Iran is using its co-religionist to topple him.

The country would split apart along tribal lines and who knows where the nukes would end up.

History tells us that US used the nuke in war. How can the preach others not to use it ?

The problem is, who replaces Musharraf if Musharraf quits or is — removed — someday?

It is too early to say that. Gen Ahsan Saleem Hyat will never betray him.

Only one political experiment at a time please. The Militants donâ€™t want a secular democracy, they want an Islamic dictatorship. The idea that the people of Pakistan would all dance with joy in the streets over the liberation from tyranny is a false one. The country would split apart along tribal lines and who knows where the nukes would end up.

“Is US Ready To Dump Pakistanâ€™s Musharraf?”
…
“If Mr. Musharraf were to fall to an assassinâ€™s bullet, American diplomatic and intelligence officials say, it is unlikely that there would be mass uprisings in Lahore and Karachi, or that a religious leader in the Taliban mold would rise to power.”

Somebody here remembers how the US ‘fired’ (pun intended) that president of South Vietnam, what was his name? Well, that sure helped the South Vietnamese a lot in fighting the Vietcong, right?

When will the US finally accept hat all their interference in other countries’ domestic politics is totally counterproductive? The changes have to come from within. Didn’t the idiotic predictions about the possible effects of the fall of Saddam finally make that point?

While a democratic government for Pakistan sure is something that ought to be desired, the question is if a leadership that has to make ammends to public opinion will fare any better in combating extremism and outright insurgency in the border provinces. The prescribed cure might be worse than the desease…
