What Difference Will This Make

This was a news story in U.S. this week.... Musharoff is stepped down. Can you weigh in on the new president and what difference this will make?
excerpted from story by Tracy Rubin, Phila. Inquirer

"President Asif Ali Zardari recognizes the threat the militants pose to Pakistan's stability. And the Pakistani military is making new efforts to fight jihadis in tribal regions. But the Pakistani public is strongly opposed to the strikes.

"Most ordinary Pakistanis still believe the fight against militants in their country has been imposed on them by the United States. "Every one of these attacks puts relations (with America) under strain," said Brookings Institution South Asia expert Bruce Riedel. If Pakistanis perceive Zardari as too close to the Americans, his government will be in peril; waiting in the wings is opposition leader Nawaz Sharif, who is far less sympathetic to America's concerns."

Thank you for your thoughts from afar.
