Pakistan: Islamists Regroup

Ralph Peters reports that Islamists have resurgent in Pakistan.  Basically, the military is the only reasonably honest institution there (Peters rejects, implicitly, Robert Novak's view given above, of the new Pakistani gov't), and Islamist sentiment feeds upon corruption, propaganda and the like.  Islamists are trying to cut the supply line to Peshawar, that crosses into Afghanistan and supports NATO troops.  Peters provides lots of detail in a small column, well worth a read.  In all, it is a sobering reminder that in war the enemy has a vote.
