A very weak article, in which the author does not have a clue about either the origin of the non-democratic tradition in Pakistan (the colonial history and MAJ), nor of why the West is "interested" in the BB, and it certainly isn't because of her English nanny! What is even more atrocious in this article is that he passes over the entier ZAB era and how democracy and people power was injected into the nation going against the tide of the local and the higher (US) elite, as well as the military due to the work of ONE man, alright! What does that say? It says that there is hope for the restructuring of the Pakistan political scene, and restructuring will not happen through dictatorship of the military kind regardless of the short term "competence" of the dictator, it will not happen through buying corrupt leaders that are palatable to the West, no these things have ruined this country. The Church of the MAJ is dead and buried now, change in this country will occur through the conscious people of Pakistan and an emerging charismatic leader....that leader will certainly not be Mullah Omar or the High Priest of the MAJ, he will resemble the ZAB more...
