ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—A new constitution, a new political system, and more provinces. Pakistani democracy is a failure and needs an urgent change. This democracy is leading to a meltdown in Pakistan and is creating ethnic conflict where none existed. Pakistan’s survival requires a period of stability. The military will have to get involved. The failures are so massive that no one has the right to exclude any institution. Enough of politics. Our model should be China and Dubai. The alternative is to fall by the wayside and that does not suit a nation that has built an impressive record of beating the odds.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—The entire U.S. policy is focused on ensuring a head-on collision between the Pashtun tribes of the tribal area and the federal army of Pakistan. That would cause such a chaos and anarchy in the mainland through reactionary terrorism that Pakistan would be given the status of a failed state clearing the way for a massive invasion of the country to ‘secure’ the nuke assets to prevent them from falling into the ‘wrong’ hands. The reality is that the local Taliban militants in the tribal areas like Baitullah Mehsud are Indian, Afghan and CIA assets and have gone against the State of Pakistan but do not have the capacity to cause another 9/11 by any standard. They are a security risk to Pakistan but not to U.S. nor influence the outcome of the war in Afghanistan or Iraq. That is the reality.
