That’s what I’m afraid of. With all that is going on with Iran and Russia, this could get ugly if the right one doesn’t replace him.

THAT’s the question.

One of the nutcases is going to get a bomb, and an American city will disappear.

Prayers up.

The largest party in parliament is the PPP, Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party, aka the socialist left. The current leader is her husband. Their coalition partner is the party of Nawaz Sharif, the previous president that Musharraf desposed in his coup. He heads one wing of the Islamic party. I'd say his wing is allied to the business class, is corrupt, and in the past worked with the ISI (the intelligence agency), and is allied to Saudi Arabia. The true Islamic nutjobs are off in the northern areas and are deeply unpopular with the PPP. Sharif would try to get along with them, but isn't one of them. I hope that helps.
