[New York Post] Amir Taheri - Some fear that in the wake of the death of Benazir Bhutto, that Islamists are about to seize power in Pakistan. Yet today, Pakistani Islamists are at their weakest in terms of popular support and their coalition, the United Action Assembly (MMA), has fragmented. In the last election, the Islamists collected some 11% of the vote. One British magazine has come out with a cover story that Pakistan is about to fall to the Taliban, based on a claim that "Taliban-like" groups are assuming power in parts of South Waziristan, a mountainous region covering half of 1% of Pakistan's territory. South Waziristan's population is less than half a million, compared to the total Pakistani population of 169 million. The best policy would be to buy off the armed groups rather than "dishonor" them in the battlefield. This is, perhaps, why Congress has just approved a package of $800 million for Waziristan. 2008-01-03 01:00:00Full Article
