Limited options for US in Pakistan
There seems to be a bipartisan understanding in Washington that the US is climbing a slippery slope in Pakistan. Balmy rhetoric about democracy is doing little to deflate an enormous groundswell of anti-Americanism or widespread opposition to the US's "war on terror". The US may have very little leeway other than depending on President Pervez Musharraf and the Pakistani military. - M K Bhadrakumar (Feb 22, '08)
