You said "...no change of government in Pakistan has taken place without the American knowledge and support. "
This is purely speculative and your personal opinion. In this case atleast, Rice's repeated calls to Musharaff to shed his military uniform and restire civilian rule confirms Washington's unhappiness with imposition of emergency. You may recall that rediff and other newspapers reported that Musharaff was going to impose emergency and just then Washington brokered a power sharing between him and Bhutto.

But then they were not sure that Supreme Court of Pakistan is going to give verdict against Musharraf. In todays situation, it is a remote chance that pakistan can be ruled democratically. Then in that case, what will be America's interest. To have a haywire democratic govt. of no control or Musharraf as a military ruler. Musharraf had been playing a dangerous game and many of his acts are boomeranging on him now. Given the situation, and the army's low morale in Pakistan, one cannot but say that coming days for him and Pakistan is going to be very very dangerous. The whole scenario is dangerous for the entire sub-continent. The most ridiculous part is that of China, who is on agreeable terms just sitting and watching, as if nobody is supposed to know that they are also responsible nation and needs to act for the peace in the region.
