...Technically, the chairman has the power to fine community members, and could, in theory, force them to pay (by, for example, cutting off their electricity) but he chooses not to do so. They are his neighbors, after all, and he does not relish provoking their anger. By all accounts he prefers a go-along, get-along style of management. One of the attendees at the road improvement meeting said she wished that sometimes the Chairman would show a stonger hand, but she knows that that, too, is unlikely.

Terrorism is our own fight as well, and if it coincides with the American agenda or the international agenda well that?s fine. But we feel, and I am quite convinced, that without fighting terrorism Pakistan cannot prosper. Pakistan can never become a forward-looking progressive nation. I think by our acts we have demonstrated this commitment. When Nawaz Sharif was Prime Minister in 1997, we were combating a different kind of terrorism...
