| Transition in Pakistan by Jeremy at 11:44 am EST, Jan 19, 2004 | |||
"The Musharraf Mysteries" (editorial, Dec. 27) says that "Pakistani politics are difficult to decode" and that the immediate challenge is to "discover what is really going on there." What is going on should be plain enough. The country is undergoing a transition from an unstable, corrupt and personality-centered "kleptocracy" to a more sustainable, transparent and institutionalized democracy. -- Ambassador of Pakistan It is curious that the editors only now decided to publish this letter, apparently written the day after the "what is going on" editorial was published. Can you say, 'market timing'? If published on December 30, the letter would have made less of an impact. Now, following a day of Al Qaeda arrests and a visible demonstration of Musharraf's personal determination, the ambassador's letter seems prescient. | |||
