Eric Margolis on Pakistan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbxk...search=Margolis

A very informed view from an insider who has actually taken the time to know what he is talking about before forming opinions unlike many in American media. He raises some very powerful points. As the video goes on, he mentions several issues that really struck me as very powerful points.

he talks about issues like:

1. American media and Pakistan
2. America using Musharraf as a tool
3. The similarity of the situation to Egypt's case with Saddat
4. The Power of the ISI
5. How the US gave a list to Musharraf of people to get rid of in the army because they weren't pro American.
6. America's and Israel's plans to attack Pakistan. Using India's power as leverage(do what we want or we'll let India's army loose on you).

The part where he said "Musharraf is only on car bomb away from eternity" really struck me. His assasination is not out of the question and nobody knows what coulde happen after that.

Yea you just know that guy knows what he's talking about and isn't simply out to push an agenda based on other factors.
