Pakistan distances itself from anti-Islam film maker bounty minister - Telegraph

To go back slightly, the Pakistan government has distanced itself from the minister responsible. At present Pakistan has still not been designated a state sponsor of terrorism. This may change in the future which would have severe financial penalties for Pakistan. I would imagine though that the consequences for ISAF could be even more severe should Pakistan, a nuclear power and important ally in this region, take umbrage at such a move. Despite some people wishing to take the bull by the horns, the actual reality is that we can ill afford, at this time, to take such a move when we will need Pakistan and its support over the next 2-3 years. After this who know what will happen.
