Yup, Pakistan was already controlled by the nuts. This is probably
one of those times when having a military coup was a good thing.
They were heading to war with India when Musharraf and the 
military stepped in and took over the government. The hole
people are still there, and they are in most other aspects of
the government. The scary thing is, when Musharraf buys it,
things are going to go downhill fast.

trench warfare kind of deal that eventually peters off into a stalemate.
