The Pakistan Dilema

The issue at Pakistan is a little complex. Difficult to say who is running the country. You have a democratically elected govt. today. However, you have a legacy of army rule. Both, the forces and ISI have really controlled and possibly still are.

So, whether the President or Prime Minister of Pakistan succumbs to the pressures of the Indian Govt. or that of UK or US or any other country, implementation on the ground will still be done by the ISI and the Forces. Or should I say non-implementation and white washing.

We see silly statements made by the democratically elected govt. in Pakistan. All statements they have made till now are haunting them back when facts come to light. To start with, "Kasav is not a Pakistani", we heard the president say it on Larry King's program. Some media outfit from UK, found his parents' name on voter's lists. One Pakistani TV channel did two sets of interviews, one, under cover and another openly. We heard two distinctly different voices coming out of the same people. Very sad. Unfortunately, Pakistan still wants proof after taking away his parents from their house and sealing it. And the latest statement on invasion on their airspace. Huh!!! I think the Indian Air Force, would have not returned before destroying the target, if they went into Pakistan airspace.

Actually more sad than this would be the state of President and Prime Minister of Pakistan. They are actually trying to (possibly, let's give them the credit) do something good for the country and been elected, do not want to show that they are not as strong as the military govt. of Musharaf. They are also being held hostage to the army and the ISI who gives them the sound bites and the updates on the ground. I frankly pity them.

This is the time, I believe the world should come together and help the Pakistani PM and the Prez, to bring out the truth within Pakistan and drive the unwanted elements out of the region.

But is there someone who gains from the current scenario in Pak? Think you guys know Parvez Musharaf? If there is any instability in Pak, he is the only one to gain.
