The Pakistani Civil War

Right now my father's home country is in a state of civil war. There are basically two camps, the pro democracy camp and the military. The two are duking it out for control of the country with the ordinary citizens caught in the crossfire. The Pakistani government is all but impotent in the face of the rising levels of terrorism from Al Queada and the Taliban. If Pakistan destabilizes completely it will be India who will feel it. Remember Mumbai is closer to Karachi than it is to New Delhi. When Pakistan heads south it is we who feel the pain first.
