PAKISTAN: BALLOT POWER

Nothing could please the country's friends more

Gilani’s ascent could moreover help in containing the insurgency in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province, where the al-Qaeda – or what operates in its name – has been steadily regrouping.

Gilani has now proposed talks with the militants – the only item on his agenda that is difficult to realise. This is because the Islamists are simply too fanatical to be amenable to any kind of dialogue, bar with the Allah whose name they vainly invoke as they merrily shed blood and spread mayhem. The Pakistani voter, certainly, has unambiguously rejected this unholy premise.

Significantly General Ashfaq Kiyani, like PM Gilani, is strictly against meddling in civilian affairs and American public opinion continues to be crushingly anti-Bush. What more could Pakistan and its friends want?
