It now appears that Pakistan's fence-sitting posture would have to change with pressure from US and possibly from China as well.


And I would add, indirectly, India. It caught my notice (or at least it seemed to me) that India was one of the first countries to condemn the attack and announce support for the US in fighting terrorism. Up until fairly recently India has not been overtly friendly to the US. I believe the geopolitical implications of this incident on the India-Pakistan conflict was not missed on the Indian government.

From Pakistan's perspective, the questions would seem to be: who is Pakistan more nervous about - India or Afghanistan? Who do they find more threatening to their future existence - India or Afghanistan?

JMHO.
