Pakistan
So how do people feel about the current goings on on Pakistan? I fear some of the greater powers that be (US) could end up getting heavily involved if things get messy, they wouldn't want some crazy guy getting into power when the country has nuclear capabilities.

Re: Pakistan
It would be nice if “we” sorted out the unholy mess that we partly instigated in the Mid East, firstly.
It would then be nice to see “ our country “ being top priority in the eyes of the government. I don’t see the UK as being a major force either militarily nor economically these days in order for them to continue embarking on these missions to “troubleshoot “ worldwide issues. There are enough problems on these shores for any government to deal with. If the yanks take exception to the goings on in Pakistan, let them get on with dealing with it. I for one am non too bothered. |

Re: Pakistan
I think our new prime minister would be very reluctant to get involved milarerillay(sp?) in Pakistan, the knock-on effects from the millions of ex-pats over here could cause anarchy on our streets.

Re: Pakistan
Nice to know Bush has pledged his support for a military dictator, in a country with a questionable human rights record.
General Musharraf isn't fighting for a democratic Pakistan, he's using this situation to hang on to power at any cost. Three British journalists have been told to leave the country this weekend, after accusing Musharraf of "incompetence and brutality." Democracy my ass. |
Re: Pakistan
The point that disturbes me, is the fact that Pakistan and India both have neuclear capability, add that to the fact that they hate each others 'gut's' makes this a very dodgy situation. Intrvention by the major western powers would surely spark a major if not catastrophic consequences.
The best thing to do is to leave it to the diplomats to try to sort the melting pot out. 'It has just been announced that Musharraf has disolved the government and is about name the date for elections.' |

Re: Pakistan
I dont have an opinion on things like these, except that I doubt we are going to get nuked any time soon. I think we should just keep our nose out of this one.

Re: Pakistan
General Musharraf looked worried, hesitant and confused in a tv press conference today - I think he realises he is on his way out
