	Islamabad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Islamabad (Urdu: ‏اسلام آباد, population 810,000) is the capital city of Pakistan, located in the north-east of the country.
		It is located within the Islamabad Capital Territory, though the area has historically been a part of the crossroads of the Punjab region and the North-West Frontier Province (the Margalla pass being a historic gateway to the North-West Frontier Province, and the Potohar plateau historically a part of the Punjab).
		Islamabad's architecture walks a tight-rope between modernity and tradition.The Saudi-Pak Tower is a good example of modern and traditional in one building.

	Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pakistan was an ally of the United States for much of its early history as a modern nation-state, from the 1950s and as a member of CENTO and SEATO.
		Pakistan, a developing country, is the sixth most populous in the world and is faced with a number of challenges on the political and economic fronts.
		Pakistan's religious demographics were altered by the partition of British India, which led to the fleeing of 7 million Muslims into Pakistan from India and 6 million Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan to India and led to a larger Muslim majority than had previously existed.

	PAKISTAN'S NUCLEAR BRINKMANSHIP (Yossef Bodansky) January, 1998
		Islamabad manages the escalation of the current crisis in accordance with a strategy in which issuing a nuclear ultimatum constitutes the key to Pakistan's ability to unilaterally contain the crisis at the desirable level.
		Islamabad is convinced that the mere threat of approaching the nuclear threshold will prevent India from seizing the strategic initiative and military dominance of events, permitting Pakistan to escalate the crisis at will without the fear of meaningful Indian retribution.
		Pakistan is thus instigating a major defense challenge to India from the west, ranging from subversion and terrorism, to a major military build-up.

		Pakistan's demand for natural gas is expected to rise substantially in the next few years, with an increase of roughly 50% by 2006, according to Pakistan's oil and gas ministry.
		Pakistan's total power generating capacity has increased rapidly in recent years, due largely to foreign investment, leading to a partial alleviation of the power shortages Pakistan often faces in peak seasons.
		With much of the Pakistan's rural areas yet to receive electric power, and less than half of the population connected to the national grid, significant power demand growth is expected in the long term, though in the short term, Pakistan has some excess generation capacity.

		We have encouraged Afghanistan and Pakistan to work together on this issue, to work trilaterally with us on this issue, and I will have discussions with President Musharraf, also with President Karzai, about how we can jointly take on what's a very difficult and somewhat stubborn problem there.
		A part of that process has to be the increasing and continuing democratization of Pakistan and so, yes, we will have those discussions.
		And we are fortunate there too that you have a leadership that is committed to putting Pakistan on a course toward moderation rather than a course toward extremism.
