FT, be very careful going there!

Sir you say “Pakistan needs IMF help badly” October 22, and that the Fund should be flexible without compromising on reform. Sounds right! Then you argue that Pakistan should spend more on education and less on the military which also sounds right until… “The country has an unresolved conflict with its archrival, India, over Kashmir; has been sucked into fighting on its Afghan border; has a weak government; and is nuclear-armed” and then I am not so sure. What has to be searched for with urgency, the timing could be good as the crisis will afect India too, is an immediate search for how to solve the conflict since the last thing you would like to do to a nuclear-armed party is to weaken his other options.
