The move will likely concentrate power in the hands of the main ruling Pakistan People's Party, which wants to maintain the country's close ties with the United States.
Sharif said Monday that he is pulling out of the five-month-old alliance because it has failed to restore judges ousted by ex-President Pervez Musharraf.
Lawmakers are expected to choose People's Party leader Asif Ali Zardari as Musharraf's successor on Sept. 6.

This is GREAT!
Now if they only had a government to implement this... and a loyal military to enforce it... an intelligence agency that was trustworthy.
It could be worse I suppose... couldn't it?

What surprises me is that this is happening now, all of a sudden, when Musharraf has just left the building. Was US ally Musharraf a friend of the Taliban?

Whether or not this ruling brings about a positive change in pakistan, it's a step in the right direction.

I have been to Pakistan on five separate occasions. Each visit was to work with a private college there. In one class of MBA students that I taught, we discussed the future of Pakistan and the problems and opportunities that the citizens faced. The vast majority of the class stated that corruption in both government and business was the greatest concern. It seems that the problem has only gotten worse. I hope that the future will be better, but ......

sounds like this is a step in the right direction but the Taliban seems like that one friend you keep trying to avoid but somehow continues to find you (like cable guy). is Pakistan really going to be able to get rid of Taliban just b/c Sharif's gone?

Ok. Pakistan is imploding
Russia is attacking GeogiaWhy does this feel like poland in the 30's

please try to find back ground, Zardari make 3 in writing agreement in last 5 month but slip from them one by one.
So nawaz-Sharef break coalition is OK,
what if some one do same in UK/USA ??
bomb ,,, HAHA in control of Army as in other countries,

The equation of a fractured, the Taliban, al-quaeda, nuclear bombs and a hostile neighbor India adds up to a horrific disaster as a result. Hopefully, the Pakistan Government and the International Community can come together and God willing, get a better control of this volatile situation. The ambitions of the Taliban and the the unresolved issue of the Kashmir Province are just a few issues that require a unified Pakistan Government to address.

It's nothing but politics in Pakistan. No sign of a stable government there any time soon. We'll see how well the PPP does this time around.

Insincere people are all over the world. This is just an example for all of us to see and realize, that even in the worst conditions the country is in, politicians are not participating to make country progress.
We all know that Nawaz Sharif has an anger on Musharraf because Musharraf had taken over his his rule 9 years ago.
But now even after Nazaw Sharif has shown that he is not really a great leader because he left the country by paying money and with contracts. There is so much trash to it that even I don't like to discuss it.Question is when you get an opportunity to serve the country, then please step ahead and serve your country with hard work, struggle and intergrity.
Stop breaking the coalitions. That has been happening since Pakistan came in to being.
Once in your life show that you love Pakistan and you want to make it a better country.
