Newsweek has an interesting article about the need to get the military out of politics in Pakistan. As the article details, the army has not done much good and has actually caused a great deal of instability in the government.
Meanwhile there are growing concerns about a possible Taliban takeover in the increasingly unstable country.
President Obama is worried about a possible collapse of the government.
From what I’ve seen out of the various ‘experts’ on the region there is not much danger of actual nuclear weapons falling into Taliban control due to strong security procedures but the country does have a large stockpile of nuclear material that could be at risk
I am increasingly wondering if the entire region needs a new strategy.
