Pakistan is more stable than the Western media gave it credit for...

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Benazir Bhutto's 19-year-old son - a student with no political experience - was named symbolic leader of her party Sunday, while her husband took effective control, extending Pakistan's most enduring political dynasty.

The major parties appeared to agree that the elections should take place as scheduled on Jan. 8 ...

...

The eldest of Bhutto's three children, Bilawal Zardari, accepted the party's leadership, but said he would remain at Oxford University.

...

He immediately announced the party's participation in the elections ... but said another party leader, Makhdoom Amin Fahim, would likely be their candidate for prime minister if they won.

He also appealed to the party of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to reverse an earlier decision to boycott the polls. Sharif's party later agreed.

...

No fresh rioting was reported Sunday and Zardari urged supporters to show restraint.

Eh, it DOES have a cultural inheritance (though likely to deny such) from neighbouring India--the ability to generate a "stable level of chaos".

Exactly.

The western media thinks Pakistan is some African or Arab-style banana republic, it's not. They're desis.
