Its like a chemistry experiment where you've forgotten the chemicals you've put in the test tube. So when you add a new chemical, you never know if it'll will at as a catalyst, or if it will set your test tube on fire :) Welcome to The Empty Head!Hope to cya around Nitin: The problem with a state like Pakistan is, you really don’t know what can really happen with one political combination or another.

The problem is not emptiness (which is a virtue in these matters) but fogginess, which clouds clear judgement! A Benazir-Musharraf combo would probably have been possible before March 9th. But after his confrontation with the Supreme Court, Musharraf's fate was more or less sealed. So how's this game going to play out? Well, I'd say that if the Army cannot, ahem, persuade Musharraf to leave in the interests of the country, it'll repeat its game after Zia's exit. Elections you will have, but democracy...now, that's a very different bird. Even Empty Heads can figure out the obvious; but not the Foggy Bottoms!

It'll do more damage that good. But there must be better ways to get the job done, and US must know ways of arm-twisting. Also, I would love it if you'd tell me what is lacking in the commenting framework.

Plus they have to be correct diplomatically. As much as bombing Pakistan is a sexy idea, A diplomat wouldnt go by that. As much as just resigning from th Govt and going for polls right now might be a great idea, they cant do it just like that! and dude, you've got a good blog. but its easier commenting on blogspot...
