Description
What ghastly days these have been for Pakistan following Benazir Bhutto\'s
assassination! And what a grim shock for an already crisis-weary world, which
did not need more hair-raising turmoil, and even speculation about possible
civil war, in what\'s often called \"the most dangerous place on earth\".

One can scarcely imagine a more volatile mix of explosive dangers than Pakistan.
It\'s a nuclear power with 165 million people and a potential flashpoint for
conflicts that can affect the whole of Central Asia and the Middle East -
perhaps the whole world. So we\'ve every right to be very concerned about what
happens next.

In this week\'s show, we look beyond the assassination and ask what can be done,
for in crises like this it\'s always wise to seek out the calm voices in a
storm; those who have a strong historical grasp of the situation and take the
long view of events. That\'s what we do in part two of our show in an in-depth
interview with Akbar Ahmed, a highly respected former Pakistani diplomat,
author and professor of international relations at American University in
Washington, DC.

But we start with a reminder of the high stakes involved for other nations -
Canada most definitely included - and an item Brian did for the National
immediately following the assassination.
