Re: al-Qaida Calls for Holy War Against Pakistan
yes. opinion polls that have surfaced from time to time indicate an absolutely disturbing level of support for osama bin laden in pakistan. obviously that support applies to al-qaeda as well, by extension.
a pew research poll from a few years ago revealed a 65% favorability rating for osama bin laden in pakistan. i think a more recent poll showed a slight dip but still a clear majority.
If this is true, then it is a very serious situation. I hope US, India and the whole world is prepared for the post Musharaf Pakistan. Pakistan is potentially the most dangerous part of the world.
