Pakistan under the scanner - Negroponte!

Pakistan and its dictator wannabe General Musharraf came under some fresh pressure from its so called ally in the war on terror, the United States. The United states has sent in its deputy secretary John Negroponte to make sure that Musharraf understood that the United states would love to see the constitution restored at the very earliest and that it would not condone his machinations for 'power trip'.
At the very least Musharraf is feeling the pressure which is why shortly after a telephone call from the White house, Musharraf immediately freed Bhutto and other activists from house arrest and also brought back two television channels which he had shut down earlier. The United states is fuming at the turn of events in Pakistan and is sending Negroponte to inform the general that he should not take the support of the United states for granted and that although his help is essential in the war on terror that there is no way that the United states would dilute the values of democracy and turn a blind eye to all that is happening in Pakistan. The United states would like nothing better than to have both Musharraf and Bhutto working together but since both of them have entrenched themselves in their respective positions, it is going to be difficult to make them work together leave alone have them in the same room together. Lets see if Negroponte can deliver as he has promised, would the general realise what is at stake here?
