It's radical Islam's first step toward an eventual military coup against Musharraf, transforming Pakistan into an open hotbed for Al Quaida operations, instead of a covert one. They want to control Pakistan's nuclear weapons so they can threaten any country that tries to stop them. Eventually, they'll join the rising alliance between Russia, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, with the intent of erasing Israel from the map. To see what happens next, read Ezekiel 38 and 39.

Pakistanis have been grousing for a couple of years now as to why they don't have the kinds of investment and growth that India has experienced. If they seriously looked around at themselves right now, they should know why.
No, we won't go into Pakistan--unless the Pakistani nuclear weapons are in danger. You can be absolutely certain that an enormous amount of satellite and remote sensing resources are watching those storage sites like a hawk. Then, and only then, would we have the slightest temptation to jump in, but only to keep those weapons from falling into belligerant hands.
There might be a moment to send in some special forces-types to help Mussharief (sp?) escape, but only if things got awful and he sensibly decided not to stay around for the mob or opportunistic political enemies wanting to do him in also. Pakistan, wrongly, will not mourn his death with quite the same sentiments. The thoughts of some Al Queda-inspired mob leaders dragging his body through the streets might make this rescue/escape option a sensible end to his rule.
Pakistan, like (to some degree) Iraqis who more recently saw the senseless brutality of the Islamic extremists, may find this as an opportunity for resolve. The problem is that the Islamic extremists in Pakistan are more firmly entrenched and popularly supported.
Personally, I'm afraid Pakistan will become the opportunity that the Islamic extremists wanted in order to get nuclear weapons for their potential or possibly applied terrorist goals, something we worried Saddam was going to do in Iraq might happen instead in the weakness of our friends (Pakistan).

Personally, I think it was a good thing. Not that the murder of Benazir Bhutto was a good thing - it was tragic. But my first inclination (other than shock) upon hearing of her death was this:
Maybe, just maybe, this event will separate moderate Muslim voices (the majority) into a cohesive organized unit condemning or at least rejecting the ones existing on the fringe. That could be her legacy. Sad that she had to die though.

We have no reason to get involved with Pakistan. I sure don't anticipate that at all. I definitely would NOT support sending troops there!!!
This horror is theirs to deal with. You wonder just how safe anyone is anymore...

No, Musharaff (Spelling) will "handle" it.
