Hey Winter!
Instability is never good for the people or the region. To my knowledge Pakistan was to be divided up. (That was a plan and I recall seeing maps) Afghanistan was to grow- One part of Pakistan was too be sectioned off- was it Baluchistan.
And the CIA has been operating there for a very long time
I could go back to 9/11 of course.
Instability sows the seeds of discord- discord sows instability like a vicious circle- always the people suffer

I agree with you 100% that this is not good for Pakistan.

I have great respect for Imran Khan. He had already done more good for his country than any politician in the country’s history, before he even became a politician. As a political leader, he has his shortcomings, as they all do, but he has shown more understanding of the bogus nature of the “war on terror” than any of the others and this surely makes him very inconvenient for the USA / NATO and all the terror-war-profiteers.

Meanwhile: I do not trust any of the Bhuttos, nor any of the Sharifs. There have been too many shenanigans going back generations, in both families and both political parties / dynasties. Benazir’s assassination, her return to Pakistan, the context of that, all reeked of bogus. Same with Sharif’s return, his ascent to power … it’s all family-connected and back-room-arranged and their descendants are just steeped in it … and they’re all (quite easily) manipulated by the same terror-war forces alluded to above … so this is not good for Pakistan nor is it good for anyone else really … except the propaganda warriors and the profiteers.

I’m with you on this Kaz.
At this moment I’ve no idea what to make of this other then it serves the cause of instability- which does not serve the Pakistani people.
I’m certain of that.

I know somewhat about the different factors in play. But when it comes to producing thoughts in this matter its all static.
