Article about the power plays in Afghanistan ahead of the parliamentary elections.
The US and UK want to form an interim government that would force Karzai to step down, but Karzai has Iran's (and Turkey's and Russia's) support.
Pakistan is a swing card and will support Karzai if he agrees to support Pakistan's interests in Afghanistan, mostly to have Pashtuns in the power elite and to reduce India's influence in Afghanistan.
Pakistan will also consult with the US, which is expanding its AfPak campaign to Central Asia.
