Pakistan :
Pakistan celebrates its 61st Independence Day today with enthusiasm and a renewed pledge to make the country prosperous and strong however, a political paralysis is feared amid mounting speculations that President Pervez Musharraf could quit rather than face impeachment. The Bush administration and analysts within Pakistan are deeply worried that the Jihadi militancy might take over.

I don't think so because as long as a military man is in power, it will manipulate the jehadis in such a way that it is used in the optimum way. Keep the West happy by killing and arresting a few every now and then and use them to terrorize Pakistani people so that they have this wrong idea that only a strong leader who has the respect of the Army can tackle this problem.

With Musharraf gone and a democratically elected civilian in power would mean that the Pakistan Army can now fully focus on its war on terrorism rather than get entangled in politics. Only the Army can control the ISI that is Pakistan's only hope of reigning in the jehadis.

Pervez Musharraf's exit will make Talibans and the extremists within Pakistan believe that they have won their first round against the state by defeating a formidable enemy in the retired general. They will be even more aggressive now.

How? It was the general who encouraged militancy just to stay in power by citing security reasons and showing the need for a strong leader in Pakistan to fight terrorism and tackle India after the nuclear tests. After 911 things changed and he himself became the target of the militants. I guess there would be some peace now that he is gone.

This is a distinct possibility. The civilian government must be strong enough to command the respect of the army.... I mean the army must follow the orders from the civilian authorities as if it is from a military dictator like Musharraf. Else the radicals will take over and Talibanize Pakistan.
