Fatima Bhutto reminds us that the cover girl for democracy in Pakistan was awful in her own right when she was in power and remains an utterly cynical politician who will try to manipulate everyone for her own advantage. Both of these claims are true. I think she is also right that if Bhutto were to come to power the democracy that she would be promoting there would be as farcical as it has been in the various “colour” revolution states.

Does Benzair Bhutto’s return, confinement and the protests in her favor look a bit stage managed to anyone else? It looks like a set-up for a vaguely presentable to outsiders leader, who is not Musharraf but who is not openly running a jihad friendly government. I confess minimal knowledge of Pakistan’s current events outside of grazing the odd wire story.
