Obama’s task
* This refers to Raja Mohan’s ‘Obama’s first crisis’. The roots of the crisis lie deep within
Pakistan’s military establishment. Neither Condoleezza Rice nor Hillary Clinton can solve the problem unless the United States acts upon the fact that Pakistan is a divided house, ruled apparently by an elected government but effectively by the army. It should be the central focus of the Obama administration to strengthen the civilian democratic government of Pakistan.
