Pakistan Victors Want Dialogue With Militants - New York Times ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The winners of Pakistan’s parliamentary elections said Tuesday that they would take a new approach to fighting Islamic militants by pursuing more dialogue than military confrontation, and that they would undo the crackdown on the media and restore independence to the judiciary. With nearly complete returns from Monday’s vote giving it the most seats, the party of the assassinated opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, led by her widower, Asif Ali Zardari, made clear that a new political order prevailed in Pakistan.

So, what do you make of tis "new political order"?

I think that now that they have an outlet for their message, we'll all see who has been right all along in our debates.


I look for vindication, though I doubt any of the Neocons will accept the message, or admit they were/are wrong.

Pakistan’s Victors May Lack Strength to Oust Musharraf - New York Times ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — This week’s election will leave President Pervez Musharraf weakened in his post, but continuing returns and haggling over the new government on Wednesday showed his opponents likely to fall short of the numbers needed to impeach him. The Pakistan Peoples Party, which won the most seats in the new Parliament, said it would not move against Mr. Musharraf if it could not muster the two-thirds majority needed to remove him or change the Constitution.
