We wouldn't have to keep a low profile for fear of upsetting the perpetually outraged Pakistanis. Plus we'd be doing the "moderates" a favor by wacking the extremists. Kurdistan affects Iran & Turkey & maybe Syria & Armenia. I don't think the Pakis have a dog in that hunt. Well if Mushy goes, it’d be the perfect excuse to get really tough on Talibanistan.

Musharraf’s rivals see what they think may be an opening. It's going to be a long summer.

That's what we should be doing anyway if we're not going to man-up and confront Iran for their meddling in Iraq and killing our soldiers.

Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love middle eastern dictators. I wish I could live in 1989 forever. The Soviet Union had collapsed, and Saddam was killing Iranians. Those were the days. I remember thinking, " we were going to be safe now. Let's Party." Even after Gulf War I, I thought nobody is going to mess with America now, we're back! The post 9/11 realities really are tough to wrap your brain around. I almost understand why so many want to ignore them. Unfortunately, it's a luxury we don't have. The liberals were SO discredited after Gulf War I, they looked silly having opposed a military masterpiece. What they're doing now is an attempt to turn the tables. They do so at our own peril.

The interesting thing is that it seems like most of the unrest is coming from a secular, pro-freedom front and not the Islamists. And in Pakistan Musharraf definitely isn't a good alley for us or someone to be trusted, but who knows if his "successor" would be better or worse. All I know is that the US and India have got to have some sort of contingency plan to swoop in very fast if the Islamists take control of that nuclear arsenal. Crazy times indeed. Wonder what all the Democratic leaders think of this situation. Barrak any brilliant summations? Hillary? Nancy? Harry? Yeah...didn't think so. Exit Question: Is A.Q. Kahn the most evil man of the 21st Century? The political climate in Pakistan and Turkey are both worthy of keeping an eye on right now.

Nobody can predict what will happen if Musharraf is overthrown, but I'm sure it will be a disaster. Very bad. It’s probably just a matter of time.

Let's hope so, lest an unfriendly "Islamic Revolution" happens there in Paki. I heard at some point the US is keeping an eye on the Pakistani nukes.
