Pakistan's multiple personalities

This slide show on Pakistan is beautiful and worth a look. Thanks to N. for sending it:

The slide show is timely, given that Pk's future rests on a very fragile balance between domestic politics, forceful militant groups and external pressures. Unfortunately, the country happens to also be one of the least understood countries in the American education system. Where are the academics and scholars on Pakistan?

Amazing photographs! I love their depth. My favs are the Afghan children in the refugee camp laughing and the soldier in front of the mountains.
