22. The problem is that Pakistan could implode
Musharraf was just barely holding on. If he is ousted from power right now he won't be replaced by elections, it will be yet another coup, and it is doubtful that the new leader would be of any help to Bush. We need things to stabalize enough for elections to go forward. If the country is allowed to disintegrate into civil war the problem is that there ARE nukes in play. Not fake WMD, but real Nukes. The world will lose if one of those goes off.
