Government of Pakistan on the Brink of Falling

The New York Times: Reports that measures taken by the Government of Pakistan have failed to stop the revolt. This could be the end for this present Government in Pakistan, the West should start to have intense talks with the political opposition and the Army. It might be time to shift support, always good to be on the winning side any political fight. The West has political and military interests in the region, thus the Obama Administration should keep any eye on Pakistan and Afghanistan, over the next few days. If Pakistan is becoming a failed state the Western Policy for the region is up in smoke. Lets not forget that Pakistan is a nuclear armed power, we don't want the terrorists to get their hands on nuclear missiles.

The Breakdown of Law and Order in Pakistan!

The Times: Reports on the actions of the Government of Pakistan under President Asif Ali Zardari, the political opposition has been arrested, the Army has has been bought in to to protect the Capital of Pakistan from the political apposition. Thus the crisis point will come in the next couple of days, if the Government of Pakistan can not hold the Capital its over, although the Government was elected recently if it falls it will show the power of the mob. This should worry the West, the USA and the UK should fear that the Taliban/Terrorists could fill the political vacuum caused by the rift in the political elite. If Pakistan comes a failed state then the US and UK are up a creek in Afghanistan, we need a stable Pakistan, no stable Pakistan the Terrorists win in the long term.

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.
