Pakistan is a failed state run by a dictator who is sandwitched between the mighty US and radical Islamists. With US backing, even Karzai kicks Musharaff's butt in public and then laughs in Kabul.
But, that's nothing new ... Pakistan has mostly been ruled by a dictator who either gets executed or is mysteriosly killed. Other leaders resort to living in exile with no hope of return ... even Imran Khan once said that he would like to go in politics but only if there was democracy in pakistan.
