^ So is Baitullah Mehsud the new benchmark for governance, these days?
Lets not reduce the discussion to the lowest possible denominator.
He will be very soon if things go the way they are. It's not like Pakistan has tens of options in leaders to choose from, and once the politicians start fighting among themselves and the army is sidelined/disarmed, guess who will come in to save the day. Not Mehsud personally maybe, but people much like him.
Some of you may not realize how much power Taliban and other militia groups has gained.
