Abstract:

Although Pakistan has arrested and handed over al-Qaeda suspects to the U.S., it has not made a clean break with the Taliban and other extremists. In order to ensure that Pakistan sets itself on a path of moderation and stability, the U.S. needs to find ways to use its diplomatic leverage with Pakistan more effectively.
