Ejazr,
I think it will be unrealistic to expect any foreign minister of Pakistan to take over the charge at this point and tread a line contrary to the will and fancies of the mil establishment there. When ppp came in the initial days, they did try their hands at a few things (namely zardari saying india is not the enemy or trying to bring isi under the interior ministry) which were not in sync to the will of the establishment but miserably failed and the situation today is such that ppp led government just cant think of going contrary to what the establishment wants.
If you've noticed the talk of a new front consisting of fringe parties making as a caretaker government where the SC of Pakistan could play a role, have resurfaced and given that the ppp and allies have no option but to go with the establishment, and if we were to take a midterm view, if ppp was to be at logger heads with the establishment, then making a come back in the next elections will only diminish further, so zardari and co wont take a chance, certainly not now or the writing is on the wall.
What one can expect is if tomorrow the elections were to be held and pml-n was to take charge, they might attempt an independent foreign policy because Nawaz sharif seems quite adamant that they will now not allow any sort of interference from the mil establishment in governance if given a chance but then them making a come back with that sort of an intent further erodes as you pointed out a few days back.
@topic
Lady comes across well in sync with the challenges she will be upto, add to that she is decently well articulated.
She has been a MoS for their finance ministry, and here after being MoS foreign ministry, she has been elevated to a cabinet rank, which must have been done looking at the credentials the lady possesses.
She doesnt come across as over eager, arrogant, aggressive or as someone on the confrontation, which was a trade mark of their previous finance minister, and another point here, she does it well than sm krishna who keeps wondering what next to say and how politically and diplomatically correct would he be.
