This article focuses on the change in the policy of Pakistan towards Taliban on being pressured by the U.S. After having spent the past seven years providing every conceivable form of military, political and financial support to the Taliban, Pakistan is now essentially being asked by Washington to help the U.S. bomb the Taliban leadership, along with their guest Osama bin Laden, and topple the Taliban regime. The U.S. has given the military regime a list of demands in order to facilitate Washington's expected attack on bin Laden.
