If the situation continues to worsen, there will be new opportunities for the religions right that would be inimical to Washington, 'The New York Times' reported quoting Pakistani politicians and analysts.
The paper quoted officials as saying that though Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani has vowed to keep the Army out of politics, and is serious about his pledge, there could come a time when political instability becomes so great and the Army would feel compelled to step in.
The domestic struggle is shaping up as a potential crisis for the Obama administration as it tries to focus the government on fighting the al-Qaeda and Taliban insurgency, the ‘Times’ said.
For Pakistan, where the military has ruled for more than half of the 61 years since independence and civilian governments have rarely completed a full term, combat between senior politicians is quite familiar, the ‘Times’ noted.
The fresh political crisis was set off by a Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday that bars Sharif, and his brother, Shahbaz, from holding any elected office.

You wanna pity those millions of Pakistani people who for years have been deprived, poor and brain-washed to hate India while the rulers in its 61 years have only looted the country in so many different ways. Its time people took it out in the open and throw the thugs out. But will that ever happen?

Pak is going to break up again and most of the part is going to slip in to the hands of Taliban because of the games of the political parties..The normal life will be hell for the moderate people.
