wrote: Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf will resign rather than face impeachment by parliament, the Financial Times said on its Web site, citing government officials and a member of his circle. The consequence will be a power struggle between the two "democratic" blocs, both of which are based on the two principal and antagonistic feudal land owning clans. The government cannot function. The country decends into chaos and bankruptcy that no amount of American aid will be able to reverse. Either the Pakistani Army takes over again or the Taliban does. With that goes Afghanistan and Indian stability. 1. Taliban win a fight - and settle scores When the Pakistani military launched operations against Taliban and al-Qaeda militants in Bajaur Agency, their opponents were more than ready, having been briefed by well-placed informants. Under the unified command of radical leader Baitullah Mehsud, the militants repulsed the offensive and are already planning retaliatory attacks in other parts of the country. And on Wednesday, Baitullah settled a score with one of Islamabad's last remaining "precious assets". - Syed Saleem Shahzad (Aug 13, '08) Full article in http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/JH14Df01.html 2. India-Pakistan relations in free fall The Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir is back on a razor's edge, with huge Muslim protests and a Hindu backlash stoking violence. Pakistan has internationalized the issue, just as Delhi works with the United States to pressure Islamabad over its commitment to the "war on terror". The peace process between India and Pakistan is on hold, and given the volatility of the political situation in both countries, Kashmir will continue to burn. - M K Bhadrakumar (Aug 14, '08) Full article in http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/JH15Df01.html |
