“Sixty-six percent of Pakistan’s 185 million people are under the age of 30 and almost all of them say they are worse off today than when they were 21. They also say they would rather have a ‘strong leader’ or one with a ‘strong hand’ than a democracy.  Now they have what they wish — Nawaz Sharif, 63, a former prime minister who was ousted in 1999 by army Chief of Staff Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan’s fourth military coup since independence in 1947.  Stripped of political verbiage, Pakistan’s first truly free national election moves Taliban guerrillas dangerously close to checkmating the United States and its NATO allies as they prepare to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.”
