[0:17]" In some they -- this shortened because it won't mean any major difference in park and US relations. And I can block the big change that has happened over the last month that is -- of this. Israelis that in addition by the US is that our interest in part. -- been been been -- more or less by the new book Lincoln park and -- looked pigeons of his trip."
[0:43]" As you know professor. The the president the United States has healed. President Musharraf is being a strong ally and a standup guy and a fighter against terror -- while at the same time there appears to be this inability for him to control what so ever. The incursion of terrorists along his. Northwestern border with Afghanistan what would the new administration do about that."
[1:08]" I think he would have been if he wasn't really didn't have a difficult situation to control them what you find is that you guys would be no more successful. But also little less successful. Being in controlling that I can give certain I have redeemed believing that we -- democratic control of the border.

And ought to be and then be impeached by the parliament he decided to warn that the site. And I think what could come out in the next meaning cost -- not being is that. But is and so. Amnesty to -- and possibly his leaving the country as part of that these. Full flight that kind they can be used to try to cool what."
[3:09]" Will his legacy be in Pakistan."
[3:12]" I think it would be have been pretty. Pretty mixed legacy he was in control group controls. What denying that he -- Part of his legacy book. -- in -- all social and economic steps. In trying to trying to epoch and -- in the post nine living here is post September 11 years. In big government tanks and these differences situation."
[3:39]" And what about the development of nuclear capability. Vis a vis the and there are historic. Antagonism to two. India."
[3:49]" Deadbeat if you could give abilities their deep seeded Gianluca -- mania. And work something that he inherited. In the India ordered me not even though he wasn't in the -- and this is the surprisingly. Quiet. His years in actually all they -- in your book and solutions. Then. Then that much of the -- boss. So is his legacy act immediately yet municipal."
[4:19]" From Boston University professor a deal is done with his perspective on the new regime which will soon be taking over. In Pakistan thank you very much professor."
