Asia Times Pakistan in the grip of a big squeeze A stinging defeat at the hands of the judiciary is just the beginning of President General Pervez Musharraf's problems. The emboldened opposition is after his blood on a number of fronts, including fallout from the army's attack on the radical Lal Masjid (Red Mosque). But it's the United States' threats to go after al-Qaeda and Taliban targets inside Pakistan that will really test Musharraf's grip on power. - Syed Saleem Shahzad Blair's well-trodden road to Damascus Tony Blair's new role as Middle East envoy promises to be fraught with uncertainty amid ambitious goals and no little skepticism. Nearly a century ago, British General Edmund Allenby carved a swifter, no less difficult legacy from Gaza to Damascus when he snuffed out 600 years of Ottoman rule and established the Palestine Mandate, one that now lies in dust.
