#2 This is what I don't get. If the government is really about to fall, why wouldn't they send front line troops with tanks and artillery from the Indo-Pakistan border to confront the Taliban? It's not like India's about to invade Pakistan any time soon. This whole thing sounds like a setup to convince Uncle Sam to hand over aid without preconditions, so the Pakistani state can continue feeding the Taliban and al Qaeda without consequence.

#3 If the government is really about to fall
Because it isn't going to fall so much as evolve.
