First of all I was referring to the link to the Flopping Aces article, not this article, and second, my point is that you can say I ignore stuff that doesn’t fit my opinion in the Friend or Foe article, but are you ignoring stuff that doesn’t fit yours in the Aces on?
I see Musharraf as not someone to be trusted blindly, but an ally nonetheless. You seem to see him as an enemy, but when there’s an article speculating on how he might be fighting AQ, there’s silence from the Musharraf is an enemy camp.
To be honest-I don’t seem him as anything.The problem is far more serious than just one man or what he will or won’t do.As far as I see it,the problem is with the very nature of Pakistan-since the Army has been in power for so long,they are responsible for the mess it is in be it Islam or insurgency & disenchantment in Baluchistan.Musharraf has shown no inclination to deal with these problems other than pay lip service to the US & flinging over a few terrorists when Condi Rice comes visiting.He will back America as long as he doesn’t earn America’s wrath on his Army-he will use the Islamists against India & anyone else as long as they serve his army.It’s about as simple as that.I frankly don’t think anyone in Pakistan in the current picture-the Army/Lawyers/Politicians are the answer.
