[Television Interview, CTV News, August 18, 2008] Michael Shank, a conflict analyst with the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University, discusses the resignation of Pakistan's President Musharraf. Shank attributes Musharraf's ouster to his extreme unpopularity among the people of Pakistan and their disapproval of the close alliance with the U.S. and its War on Terror. He suggests that the United States should change tack and support the platform of the opposition parties in negotiating with tribal leaders, providing much needed economic development, investing in educational infrastructure, and supporting the nonviolent leadership of the Northwest Frontier Province's political parties. Interview conducted by Jacqueline Milczarek on August 18th, 2008. Video courtesy of CTV.
