Tom, if I knew what to do, I'd be telling my Senator, my Representative and writing the President (note, I don't call him MY President. I don't claim the dunce.)
It is easy to see the problems. We pay politicians to find the solutions and they seem to be intellectually under-equipped for the job. Maybe they're so close to the problem, they're only seeing the trees and not the whole forest. Everything is interlinked.
It seems like there are two choices here. Underhandedly support Musharraf (spelling???) or finding a way to put enough pressure on him to return the country to Democracy while letting the Pakistani people know that FOR ONCE, we are trying to do the right damn thing. We can not support dictators and expect to earn the appreciation of the man on the street. And they are the ones we need because they and their children are the ones who end up becoming terrorists when we futz around with their lives for blatant self-interest.
