SocraticGadfly: Pakistan government tension increases

Pakistan government tension increases

Just days after former President Pervez Musharraf stepped out under pressure, Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-N party has left the governing coalition.

The main disagreement Sharif and party have had with Asif Ali Zardari’s Pakistan Peoples Party is whether or not former Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry should be immediately restored to office.

This just underscores even more what Juan Cole and other smart liberal bloggers have said — DON’T send more troops to Afghanistan.
