What will be an ideal response?


• Some Pakistani leaders support terrorism, some want to establish the caliphate while rejecting terrorism, and some want to fight the jihadists.
• Musharraf allowed Coalition forces fighting in Afghanistan to enter Pakistani airspace, allowed American personnel to operate within its borders, and had its military conduct counterterrorist operations, especially in the northwest where al Qaeda, Taliban, and other jihadist forces are housed.
• Musharraf does not have the support of his people for allowing these measures; he walks a fine line every time he takes actions against terrorism.
• The International Crisis Group points to another internal problem – Pakistan is not so much a modern country as it is a modern series of tribal confederations.
• Pakistan formed in 1947 when British rule in India and the region ended.
• Divided into East and West, East Pakistan revolted in 1971 and formed the new country of Bangladesh.
• The Pakistan Army is the power behind the president's office.
• The jihadist movement is strong in the North-West Frontier Province and strongest in the province's tribal area Waziristan.
• Baluchs are staging a revolt in Baluchistan, and two major religious parties resent Musharraf's relationship with the United States.
