The following questions are from our callout on Reddit.
From user thetopthrow: Do you feel that there are high ranking members of the Pakistani government that support, either directly through financial support or indirectly by turning a blind eye to their behavior, terrorist acts against citizens of other sovereign nations?
From user KarlDonitz: Can the rift between India and Pakistan ever be resolved? How should both parties go about amending their relationship? Replies from the Twitter hashlib #WhenMusharrafReturnsToPakistan
