Interesting situation.....I was just thinking about some potential outcomes.


If they charge him which I reckon Nawaz Sharief will opt for they'll want to hang him....most in positions of power want him out of the way but if they try and hang him then I reckon the Military will rise up in support of him and the whole thing will start again!


Exile is difficult as the US and UK don't want him although I reckon the US should extend an olive branch. My bets on Saudi! Although they will view him as too much of a security risk I reckon he'll end up there, Prince Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz (the Saudi Intel supremo) visited Pakistan two days ago so conicidences aside I think the Saudi Royal family is extending an invitation........watch this space.


As for the future...well turmoil is my bet whilst the conflicting political factions vie for leverage, Zardari and Sharief will want their guys installed or even themselves!  Whichever happens the extremeist will have time to operate without restriction so it could get dodgy.  And to cap it all I just wonder how much authority a civil government will have over the Pakistani Army and the ISI as Musharraf has many close friends and a truck load of influence in both organisations!
