Knowing nothing about Pakistan, don't the coups demonstrate the lack of power military holds? If I was a military chief, I'd rather prefer to steer policy from the background assuming I had any real influence. Not saying you're wrong. I'm trying to understand...
They depose a leader then to retain US support they allow elections then depose him when they no longer approve. Might as well be a Itanian style theocracy.
Or lie. My friend was rear ended recently. When the officer came he took both their statements and checked their insurance. She finds out after the crash the guy that rear ended her had let his car insurance lapse and lied to the officer about the validity of his coverage. Apparently the liar is also a law student at the local university.
This happened in the US and luckily my friend spent the money for uninsured motorist coverage on her policy.
The beginning was somewhat trite and demode (understandable given 2003) and I got this same thought.
While I usually hate to skim, I decided at that point to skim a handful of paragraphs, and near the end, he tied the beginning in very well to what he was really trying to say at the finish.
