Musharraf has to purge the ISI and soon, or this is going to spin out of control.India has just told him to do that, in a very oblique way, or face the end of his regime.This tightrope Musharraf has walked with the ISI and forces hostile to him and the West in his own government is about to come undone, unless he REALLY plays the strongman.Its him or them.
I really admire Musharref. Unfortunately he is like Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest - he is surrounded by loonies and sadists. I dont know if he can keep this ship afloat.
As for the Indians (oops can we still call them that - oh, yeah, THOSE Indians dont mind!), they are right that they could survive, but it would be a heck of a mess, lots of folks would have to re-enter the wheel of life to pay for past sins and all that.
I expect the Budhists to manufacture a new god for just this occasion! Now that is a flexible belief system.
