This could just be my own general paranoia, but how stable is the government in Pakistan? The Pervez Musharraf is a military dictator who seized power by force from a democratically elected president, and many people from all levels of society are trying to get him out of power. However, he is keeping his nation stable, and is a supporter of US foreign policy.
However, my new worry as to why he could be pushed out of power comes from the terrible damage from the earthquake in Pakistan. I make no claim to be an expert on Pakistan, but Mr. Musharaff's rule seems precarious. Will in the inability to deal with this devastating tragedy be the final impetus that causes his fall? And if he falls, who will be in control of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal?
