Article Abstract:
Pakistan's civilizing military regime during the year 2004 continued its attempts to balance two seemingly irreconcilable goals, to democratize and stabilize Pakistan's deeply divided political system and to maintain official support. Despite nearly unanimous domestic opposition, for U.S. foreign policy in Afghanistan and Iraq, the delicate balancing act was further complicated by the Abdul Qadeer Khan nuclear weapons affair.

However, the present administration needs to exert more effort in pulling the country out of its domestic throes.
