Is Pakistan Falling Apart ?

BBC News: Reports on the political crisis in Pakistan, the political opposition headed by Nawaz Sharif is going ahead with its planned Demonstration, against the wishes of the Government in Islamabad. The UK Times reported a few days ago that the head of the Army was trying to bring the political elite together, it does not seem to have worked. The West in the shape of the USA and the UK has to make sure that Pakistan does not become a failed state, the US and the UK should send their special envoys to the region, bang heads together, get a deal, if we have civil war in Pakistan the terrorists win. The War in Afghanistan and its success is based on the Government of Pakistan working with the West to bring the badlands on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan under government control. This is a critical time for the West, if need be the Army of Pakistan should take over, better a Military Leader who can control the country than a weak Democracy that allows the terrorists to win.
