I think Pakistan is the greasy ooze that emerges when you first pop a zit. Think of the Iran/Pakistan/Iraq/Afghanistan area as a zit. China and Inida are Westernizing at warp speed. Russia is Westernising and getting cozy with China and India. And there's the US, Israel and Britain to the West, and the uber-liberal and irreligious EU to the Northwest.
You have three fingers popping a huge zit of backward Islamic Republics jammed in the middle, between Egypt, Turkey and India. My guess is the puss runs into Africa through Egypt after Mubarrak dies and no strong successor is chosen. Pakistan is just that shit that's barely worth squeezing. Its another screwed up, misbordered British colony. It'll be swallowed by India economically. The big pile of white puss... the guts of the pimple, if you will, is Iran. Once that fucker gets Westernized (and it will, given time), I think Radical Islam's last stand will be on the Arabian Peninsula and in Africa.
I don't see Pakistan as the hotbed of Islamic insanity. I think its too close to , and economically tied to, India (even if culturally they hate each other). I think the last stand of Radical Islam is going to be some screwy place in Africa, like the Sudan.
