Weeks after declaring emergency rule in Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf announced this weekend that parliamentary elections will be held in that country while the constitution remains suspended. We explore straining relations between the U.S. and Pakistan, and the range of options available to Washington policy-makers.

A political crisis in Pakistan. Potential border skirmishes involving U.S. allies in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. And the fascinating legacy of perhaps the "least analyzed" assassination attempt of the 20th century. Broadcast icon Marvin Kalb returns for his monthly visit to discuss the day's news, and the looming challenges in American international diplomacy.
