In the Guardian today, Tariq Ali discusses his relationship with Benazir Bhutto, and the coexistence of despotism and anarchy in Pakistan. Ali argues that military rule in Pakistan has promoted lawlessness rather than create favorable conditions for order. A history rife with unpopular foreign and domestic policies, continuous martial rule, and political assassinations has led to this moment where those in power must address a despairing majority preparing for increased confrontations with the government. His hope for the Pakistan Peoples Party, formerly led by Bhutto, is that it will revive itself in the wake of her death as a modern democratic body dedicated to open and fair dialogue, and the creation of solid proposals aimed and furthering social rights and stabilizing Afghanistan.
