Musharraf is trying to walk a fine line here between appeasing the West and appeasing his own people and avoid having his head on a pike. He is not being "ball-less". He is being smart.

As the leader of a country, is it not your first responsibility to represent the desires and interests of the people of your own country? If he were to have balls and do exactly that, I'm not sure you would be very pleased with him.
