I am a fan of David Pryce-Jones‘ writing and, since reading his book on the Arab mind, I consider him an expert on the Middle East. His recent piece on the Bhutto assassination seems to me to be another excellent bit of informed analysis. Our options are very limited in Pakistan and we have ourselves to blame for much of the current predicament. Victor Davis Hanson, however, provides a needed dose of reality about how limited our power and responsibility really is. I do think, however, that it was foolish to push Bhutto and Mushareff into this fatal embrace. We simply cannot expect good intentions to be enough in such circumstances.
