Prime Minister Gilani's first trip to the US: More downs than ups
Saturday, August 02, 2008
This raises some disturbing questions. For Pakistan, it is essential that the latest period of democracy deliver. As US commentators have noted, there are fewer and fewer options left. The present leadership must then show it can make a difference. After all, long years of autocratic rule have plunged Pakistan into the desperate situation it today faces. The elected leadership must muster strength and pull it out of these depths. The people who make up parliament today have after all been selected by millions of voters. They must then rise up to the expectations of this electorate.
