But these are scattered without effect amid...
...last few days. Any of these could easily go wrong and in the process not only destabilize his government but also have drastic consequences for the country and the region?There is little doubt that had he not responded to the American demand for cooperation in the manner that he did, the consequences for Pakistan could have been far worse than the specter of angry mullahs hitting the streets and burning his effigy. In all probability, Pakistan would have been branded a rogue state because of its admitted affiliation with the Taliban and for starters, what better ruse than...
