We have had 60 major terrorist incidents? What are you smoking?
We're under a military dictatorship? Please get your facts right. Pakistan is a REPUBLIC. All you are doing is spewing filth out of your mouth. We are volatile people? That is once again, news to me.
We are not sending the players to Peshawar, or the NWFP (Although we should). There is NO security risk here if the proper precautions are followed.

Yes, we will blow you up on the 12th.
How wonderful for you to be able to predict that..
Please take your predictions elsewhere.

Well, he has suspended the constitution twice
In the preceding events of the coup d'etat he was behind to oust Nawaz Sharif, Musharraf's generals arrested PM Sharif amongst others. He got into power through brute force and has stayed in power through brute force. It's a dictatorship.
Though I should say that people mustn't say things like "people in Pakistan are very volatile". It's inflaming the situation and is offensive to Pakistani's. More talk like that and I'll have to consider closing the thread to let people cool down. And given how the tournament is only 6 weeks away, we don't want it closed for any kind of time before that.
Going on to cricketing matters (I've almost forgotten what they are!)
If Colly is in such awful form, will his ODI captaincy be dropped? I suppose that depends if we send a full strength squad, or even a squad.

Collingwood will HAVE to come to Pakistan, to keep his place in the ODIs...
If he decides to opt out, then he will be struggling to get back into the international arena for some time.

I'm just assuming on what Giles Clarke said when he came to Pakistan 2 or 3 weeks ago (on his own with Creagh O' Conner from CA)
He said that players who don't tour Pakistan will probably lose faith with the selectors, and if a player who goes to Pakistan performs well in that player's position, he will likely retain it.
For example, Collingwood pulls out, and Owais Shah replaces him (although he is probably already in the squad, this is an example). Owais Shah performs in Collingwood's place. Collingwood would then have to consistently perform in domestic cricket and win back his spot in the England team.
This was assuming the ECB found the security arrangements adequate according to Giles Clarke. He also spoke that he will be coming back to Pakistan during the ICC Champions Trophy

Shah is a regular in the ODI team anyway. But I see your point

'ICC may take away CT from Pak at last minute'
KARACHI: The ICC has retained Pakistan as the host of next month's Champions Trophy for now but former captains like Imran Khan fear that the event would be taken away from the troubled country at the eleventh hour due to mounting security worries.
Imran said he remained pessimistic about the eight-nation tournament being held in Pakistan. The former all-rounder felt there was every possibility of ICC taking it away as it would be difficult to convince countries like Australia and England about the security situation here.
