Gen. Musharif still has a military, albeit primarily interested in Kashmir. Pakistan's leadership over the last ten years made a costly error when they allowed the Taliban to set up religious schools in thier nation. There have been riots in Quetta, Pakistan since our operations in Afganistan began. The Taliban and very rad Islamics who call their fight-world trade center and the Pentagon included-a religious war are selling all of us propaganda under the guise of false prophesey. I do not recall, when I read the Koran-that Islam smiles upon the sensless killing of innocents. The attacks of 11 Sept were carried out by cowards talked in to doing ill by Al Queda. Mr. Bin Laden would never get his hands that dirty. So, is Pakistan in a squeeze? Yes, but a good part of it the governments own creation. To quote a former cabinet offical- the snakes have grown and there are no dragons in our midst. That is Al Queda and the Taliban's story. I would imagine that if there is too much heat in the kitchen for Gen. Musharif, he will kick all of the US troops based in Pakistan out. It would be a knee-jerk reaction on his part, however. If we do not push the Taliban down hard enough, they will continue to "franchise" Pakistan. The Taliban are only about control of new real estate and with it, more people.Their interpretation of the Koran(90 degree out from reality) allows them with the only entre` they need. What a mess. --- Ross Stapleton-Gray <amicus@well.com> wrote: > At 06:44 PM 10/20/01 -0700, Fred Cohen wrote: > >Pakistan Assessment 2001 > > > >Pakistan continues to be caught in the trap of extremist Islamist > >militancy and terror that it constructed as part of its Afghan and > >Kashmir policy. > ... > > *Whose* Pakistan Assessment 2001 might this be?
