But, says Zehra, this should not be confused with Pakistani reluctance to pursue terrorists. "It would be erroneous to draw any conclusions from public criticism against Musharraf for letting in U.S. forces. In the greater context, there is a lack of trust between the people of Pakistan and Musharraf's government. Because of his lack of political legitimacy there is bound to be criticism...
