...regimes in multi-ethnic Pakistan either overrode or distorted constitutional provisions for the distribution of power between the center and the units of the federation, undermining national cohesion and dividing society along ethnic and territorial lines. To retain power, the Musharraf regime will require and will inevitably exercise centralized control, if not for any other reason than to ensure the continued support of its main constituency, the armed forces.

In 1994, Russia suffered heavy casualties - and killed thousands of Chechens, both fighters and civilians - in a vain attempt to take control of the capital. The latest battle may be as grim. "Some Russian leaders seem to believe that anyone who hasn?t fled Chechnya by now is fair game," says TIME Moscow correspondent Andrew Meier.
