Pakistan: The world’s most dangerous place

Posted by Matt in January 6th, 2008

Nothing else has worked: it is time for Pakistan to try democracy.

THE war against Islamist extremism and the terrorism it spawns is being fought on many fronts. But it may well be in Pakistan that it is won or lost. It is not only that the country’s lawless frontier lands provide a refuge for al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, and that its jihad academies train suicide-bombers with global reach. Pakistan is also itself the world’s second most populous Muslim nation, with a proud tradition of tolerance and moderation, now under threat from the extremists on its fringes. Until recently, the risk that Pakistan might be prey to Islamic fundamentalism of the sort its Taliban protégés enforced in Afghanistan until 2001 seemed laughable. It is still far-fetched. But after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, twice prime minister, nobody is laughing. This, after all, is a country that now has the bomb Miss Bhutto’s father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, craved so passionately as prime minister in the 1970s.

Pakistan's Gun Market
The Gun Bazaar of Pakistan. From VICE DVD. http://www.myspace.com/vicedvd Update: This gun market has nothing to do with terrorism nor does it have anything to do with the war on terror. So stop writing stupid comments. It's just a gun store in a town in Pakistan run by Pashtuns. If the United States felt it was a threat, then it would have been long gone. Duh! Update 2: I didn't make this. VICE DVD did!
