    The fundamentalists are a distinct minority in Pakistan. The only way they'd come to power is if something drastic happened to rally millions to their side. Would a U.S. invasion be that type of event? And can the U.S. afford not to invade/bomb the bejeezus out of Waziristan if al Qaeda continues to flourish unchecked? No good answers here.

    You make it sound like there was a time when the Northwest Frontier region was policed. It's been run by tribes forever. And, again, what makes anyone think our troops would have success in the Pakistan frontier when our military can't get Baghdad under control? Musharraf's job has been wildly difficult, if not impossible, from the beginning and the U.S. has begun to find him a very convenient scapegoat. But I also believe turning control over to a civilian government at this point would spell disaster.
