ISLAMABAD, Pakistan

Indeed. I hope Musharraf is serious, and keeps fighing. But we must let him know we are watching him.

A move in the right direction. How Mush plans to stay alive is another matter.

I'd suggest keeping his head down and moving in a rapid zig-zag pattern whenever exposed in public

[Autodidactic]

But, I don't understand, why is this nessessary? I was told Islam was a religion of peace. Wouldn't that mean that "Radical Islamists" were really really peaceful??

I agree. Now if AraRAT and the Saudis would do the same and enforce it............................ .....Nuf said.

And all the while, the PRC, Pakistan, Myanmar and Laos continue in their embrace, building up arms, building roads between themselves, building naval bases for joint forces on both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, backed up by the combined nuclear forces of Pakistan and the PRC, and, ultimately, in a pinch, Russia. As usual, most of us Westerners, wishful thinkers that we are, 58 years past any semblance of grand geopolitical moves, dulled by as many years of "strategic ambiguity" and false belief in the demise of war between great powers, are utterly unaware of what matters. As if by a slickest of used car salesmen, we are duped and set up for things that will eliminate our naivete in one day's time.
