Year 2010-11 and the world is in the grip of a “War on Terror”. Reprisal threats from indigenous forces resisting foreign presence in Afghanistan have made the developed countries wary of extremism in the Muslim world; creating a clash between Islam and the West. The USA, the sole super power and leader of the free world, and Pakistan, the sole Muslim nuclear power and teetering citadel of Islam, are two countries on different sides of this conundrum; but their intertwined interests have brought them into an uneasy alliance against the radical forces rising from Afghanistan.
