- 2008
The country faced presidential to democracy and parliamentary elections. Many hoped these might start a gradual transition to democracy but no one expected major short-term change. Pakistan needs a strong push toward national unity on the most basic issues it faces, coupled with an election that all participants will recognise. Pakistan needs a government that will undertake the long and difficult task of building up Pakistan's institutions, countering its domestic extremists and managing the tangled relationships with Pakistan's neighbours.
