To: HAL9000
Pakistan will soon become a major antagonist against the West's efforts to defang and confine the militant Islamists..

By no stretch of the imagination or language will they continue for long to be considered an ally...

Much like the Palestinians — the Pakistanis have consumed far too much militant Islam fundamentalism.. Pakistan is one of the prime candidates to become the Nagasaki or Hiroshima of the 21st century........

I don’t see the loss of Pakistan as inevitable yet. It largely depends on how their new government wants to proceed.

The civilian unity government collapses in a morass of bickering, backstabbing and recriminations. Another war with India in Kashmir, the traditional safety valve will be utilized at the behest of the Army.

Enter a military strongman.

Will he be deft and skillful enough as Mushie in walking the tightrope? Doubt it, Mush was a rare breed.

Then, will Jihadi oriented generals overthrow a secularist military type?
