Life at the I-House

This week in Global Hour we will take a look at Pakistan and the standoff at the Red Mosque. Some Points and Questions to Ponder:

1. How do you see the standoff in regards to: Musharraf's power and influence? The opposition's power and influence?

2. Should the West (particularly the US) be concerned by how Musharraf deals with this issue?

3. If Musharraf falls could another Iranian style revolution occur?

4. Several Chinese nationals have been kidnapped or murdered in the last few months in Pakistan. What are China's options to protect its nationals in Pakistan?

5. How do you think India is viewing the situation?
