Is the new civilian Pakistani government setting itself up for disaster to prove a point?

I don't know, but it seems like, because of how the government is acting, and because of how open they are trying to be and how much danger that puts on the tribal assets and the assets in Kashmir, the new government is setting itself for disaster.

This will bring to light in a way, some of the secret activities by the ISI and Pakistan's military relating to the tribal groups, Afghanistan, and Kashmir.

keep dreaming! thanx to indian threats, pakistanis aRE united after a long time! thanx india and thanx to indian media-

pak government is working in a total sane and responsible way! unlike irresponsible indian attitude which could destroy whole south asia!

Not that they have much choice, they keep hiding things and people will start to be suspicious and will assume guilt by the fact that they're trying to hide information, which will be even worse as the number of pissed off countries in the Mumbai incident is fairly large, 10 countries, that's almost 5% of UN representation, and these countries have "friends" that can be influenced by their neighbour's badmouthing, so the "splash effect" can be quite drastic. If proven guilty, I suspect at minimum a trade embargo, which can be worrying for Pakistan as they can be hurt militarily by it as they buy weapons, up to an all out invasion by India and the US (not likely for the US, they're already in 2 wars, but they might provide support as well as a few more drone strikes into Pakistan).

But TBH I seriously doubt Pakistani official influence on this as they have too much to lose if caught, the US pressure on them to clean up or face US "preemptive action" attacks on suspected terrorist targets, especially along the Alfgan border is VERY high.
