It could get nasty here. Pakistan's ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, has agreed to share intelligence with the U.S. and allow American planes to use his airspace. Islamabad would rather not let U.S. forces launch assaults from Pakistani soil, but it's certain Washington wants that too. Even before Musharraf tried to sell his plan in a televised address last week, the response was mixed, with at least one call for a jihad against the U.S. military and Musharraf himself, alongside support from Pakistani moderates. Musharraf says that refusal to cooperate could endanger Pakistanšs security and economy, while cooperation would lead to the country's re-emergence as a "responsible and dignified nation." |
