This is actually one of the very few fields of politics in which I think the present US government has done a fairly good job. To put much more pressure on Musharraf and/or Pakistan would likely lead to an even more fundamentalist Pakistan with less control of jihadi.

It would be about as stupid and unproductive as the invasion of Iraq was. So for whatever bad and subjective reasons that has happened, let us praise Bush for not having made a mess of/in this Muslim country. He could have done much worse.
