Her "Sacrifice Changed Very Little"
Joshua Foust recommends two geostrategic essays on Pakistan, and I'll second that. Both are a healthy departure from William Kern's alarmism. Not that the prospect of a nuclear-armed state unravelling is not worrisome, but how often do the interests of Saudi Arabia, India, PRC, and the US line up? The second post reminds the US, as Elizabeth Bumiller reminds us "How Bhutto Won Washington", that "how little the United States fathomed the feudal politics of South Asia, and its own ability to control events in the cauldron of Pakistan."
Ironically, the Bhutto assassination might have more impact on the US primary elections (at least for Senator Joe Biden's chances for third place in Iowa) than on Pakistan.
