is probably not particularly concerned about the feelings of the Taliban/al Qaeda sympathetic public, given they came really close to assassinating him twice within the last couple of months. (The fundamentalist Muslim population in Pakistan is 15% of the total population of that country, if memory serves.)
Plus he was caught selling all that nuclear crap to the usual bad guys, and he knows that a superpower that just trashed some Arab country just for spite might not be in a forgiving mood. So maybe he will go after UBL.
A hopeful sign: Pakistan and India seem to be serious about working out a peaceful accomodation over Kashmir. I think both sides realize that they have better things to do than continue that low-level war. I think Musharraf probably knows he has no chance of improving his country unless the radicals are disarmed.
