'Some American officials have begun to suggest that Pakistan is no longer a fully
reliable American partner' - The New York Times
Pakistan has issues. Not only is the loyalty of its Intelligence Service in question, it seems to be fighting a war on two fronts, both of them against India. There is now direct evidence linking the Pakistanis to the bombing of an Indian embassy in Afghanistan. This comes in the wake of a shelling of Indian positions in Kashmir across the Line of Control. It's clear that Pakistan can't get past its rivalry with India, and that it can't seem to adjust to a changing world where India is moving into closer alignment with what historically had been Pakistan's benefactor. Unless Pakistan deals with its issues, it'll be relegated the the dustbin of history.
