"Power-sharing" and "democracy" in Pakistan
I've been meaning to write about this for a few days, but hadn't gotten around to it. Just as well, because Fatima Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto's niece, knows a heck of a lot more than I do, and says what I was going to say and more much better. All I was going to say was, "What on earth does Bhutto returning to Pakistan and 'negotiating a power-sharing agreement' with Musharraf have to do with 'democracy'?" You can't "negotiate" "democracy." As I said, Fatima Bhutto says that, and lots more.
