Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf is hell-bent on undermining the civilian government. Since he lost the political power in Pakistan, Musharraf appears to be manipulating the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) or the military, or both. The civilian government of Pakistan is not in a position to confirm or deny any allegations of it’s involvement in Afghanistan or anywhere else. It was sad to see the Prime Minister of Pakistan being humiliated in the United States of America during his recent visit to this country. Kim Ghattas of BBC News said, “Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani came to Washington hoping to get President Bush to see in him a reliable and durable alternative to Pervez Musharraf”. That did not happen. America and the rest of the world believes that there are three power centers in Pakistan today. One is of course the all powerful military, the second is the intelligence agency, ISI and now the third power center is the Parliament of Pakistan.
