Legacy Journal: Iowa caucus Populists meet the world of realpolitic & the Pakistani Peaple’s Party

Section:

Politics

Summary:

“ To understand the game of basketball, watch the action away for the ball.” —a literate Knick fan.


?Q?: Who initiated Pakistan’s Nuclear Strategy?  What are the two “official languages of Pakistan?

Iowa voters are courted and recharacterized every four years.  The state’s early system of caucus primaries is highly unique, a bit curious, not quickly explained, and more than a little quixotic.  That brings us to presidential candidate Mike Huchabee of Arkansas, the Bhutto’s, and the People’s Party of Pakistan in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Faith, Family, and Freedom is the Huchabee calling card .  The PPP creed is: “Islam is our faith; democracy is our politics; socialism is our economy; all power to the people.”

Today, we learned that Mike Huckabee appears to relatively uniformed about Pakistan, some basic facts on immigration, and the pressing need to control nuclear power.  We also learned with the reading of the will of the martyred Benazir Bhutto, self proclaimed, PPP “Chairperson for Life”, that the family political fiefdom founded by her father, aristocrat, Zulifair Ali Bhutto, will be continued in the person of a 19 year old son, Bilawali Bhutto Zurdai, a first student at Oxford University in England. His father, a well connected, cafe society, polo playing and convicted 10% fee taker, Asif Ali Furdai, will be a placeholder.  Meanwhile, back in Switzerland, the snow slopes and boarding schools are being prepared for the return of the rich and famous.


Main:

So, Iowa prepares to be the lead off state in the fast paced and daunting task of winnowing the field from which the leader of the free world will be determined.  Is Mike Huchabee of Arkansas that man?

Meanwhile, in the world’s 6th most populated nation, the clans, the Khans, the imams, the elites, the media, the military, the civil service, the feudal tax collectors from peasant farmers in provinces like Sindh with 60 million people in the south east Indus Valley bordering the Indian Ocean, and expatriots, including the estimated 500,000 in the United States, are attempting to participate in a byzantine power politics arena where nuclear power and technology are part of the volatile mix.  Not to be missed is the question of were oil pipe lines from the Caspian region are going to cross on their way to ports and China markets.

Q&A: * PPP founder, and former Prime Minister, the father of Benazir Bhutto. ** English and Urdu.
