An army's country
As my friend over at the Council on Foreign Relations quotes in her recent article:-
Pakistani nuclear physicist Pervez Hoodbhoy sums it up in Foreign Policy: “All countries have armies, but in Pakistan things are reversed. Here, it is the Army that has a country.”
How true. Musharaff has created a promising future for himself and his army by appointing Lt. Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. But what happens to the country? What about the interests of the common man? What if Musharaff does get elected - will he direct foreign aid to the Pakistani people or the so called War on Terror?
