There’s a rumor going round in Islamabad about the assasination attempt on Musharraf. It is said that Musharraf doesn’t trust anyone, so he kept the remote control of the explosive device in his own hand

I think having thought of an islamic coup are far fetched. MMA are at their peak and still can’t muster up support for their demand on LFO. and i don’t suppose they will have these number of seats in the next elections provided america nad musharraf don’t do anything silly to outrage Pakistanis.

Ikram: Don’t worry, by now I am a fake Pakistani as well, so someone is going to correct and mock me as well.

KO: MMA is a sizable force in Pakistan right now with or without Musharraf. I don’t think the presence or absence of Musharraf will make much of a difference in this regard. OTOH, MMA is at its peak right now. It’ll not be easy for them to improve their showing much in any elections now.

There are indeed a number of senior army officers who are not happy with the way Musharraf has conducted himself with the US, but I don’t think any “Islamist” coup is a big worry.

I haven’t lived in Musharraf’s Pakistan (though I did vote against his referendum joke), so you probably know better about it than I do. However, I did live in Zia’s Pakistan and have read extensively about Ayub. I think Musharraf has been copying those guys quite a lot. He has made much less mistakes (e.g. a free press) but I don’t think he’ll be a benign dictator.

TD said: My point was simply that, in potential scariness, Pakistan is way, way up there—- and I’m not sure you’d disagree.

I do agree with that. I think the Pakistan/India confrontation ranks as the most dangerous one in the world (and not just because I have family there).

Like I said, TD, I intentionally misrepresented your views somewhat so that I didn’t have to go and have a discussion with nutcases. :-) Hope you don’t mind.
