It can be credited to One man who at a crucial time to ally himself and his country with the USA. Since the war on Terrorism began nearly all the successes the US and her allies have achieved in thwarting further attacks have come about through intel his country has provided. There have been apx 500 Al Qaeda Operatives captured in his country including the #3 Khalid Mohamed . He has survived 2 assination attempts on his life. Yet his country is slowly slipping into radical Muslim fundlementalism.

The man of course is Perez Musharraf, President of Pakistan. It is obvious that he is the glue that holds the Moderates in Pakistan together, in their alliance with the USA and West. It would also be incorrect to assume that he doesn't have some powerfull supporters in his own country that allow him to hold unto the reins of power.

However it will be the Wests worst nighmare come true if Perez falls. For it is likely that Pakistan will become a Islamic State which has Nuclear weapons.
