Musharaff is in a real corner. On one hand, I think he is a moderate who wants Pakistan to become a respected member of the world community and prosper. On the other hand, there is a very large percentage of Pakistani radicals and their unthinking followers that actively engage in intimidation, indoctrination, and violence to further their own mid-evil views.

It was these people in all likelyhood, that attacked and attempted to destroy the foundation of the Indian government. Now India, like Israel, has had enough. The Pakistani government evidently cannot or refuses to control these criminals. Evidently the Pakistani people are either sympathetic or afraid of their own radicals.

The Pakistanis themselves must decide which side they want to be on and clean up their own house. If not, they will either be forever disdained and marginalized by the western world, or outside forces will clean house for them. Again, like the mideast, this is a case of muslims being their own worst enemy.
