Pakistan, the next nightmare
Pakistan is in crisis according to Brooking Institution professor Stephen Cohen. It even is a time bomb, according to Cohen in the Washington Post recently. Not only Pakistan, but together with Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan this corner of the world, loaded with nukes (Iran, Pakistan, India) is the most explosive. It is comparable with the situation in the beginning of the 20th century Balkans in Europe.
Sectarian terrorist and Taliban violence is destabilizing the region turning it to a potential time bomb. US leadership should revise its policy toward Pakistan. Not solely leaning on the military dictatorship, but pushing moderate civic society, according to Cohen, also on C- Span.
See Washington Journal C- Span.
