By November of last year, Pakistan, a nation hardly known for its stability, seemed primed to explode. After months of street protests against General Pervez Musharraf's increasingly authoritarian rule, the Pakistani dictator had declared de facto martial law, allowing him to arrest thousands of political activists and sparking even greater unrest.
Many in the U.S. have been dissatisfied with Pakistan's performance in the war on terror, and much of the criticism has been based on the assumption that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has been perfidious in his execution of counterterror operations.
