Pakistan after Bin Laden: Humiliation of the Military Men

America's killing of Osama bin Laden on May 2nd brought with it a rare chance to ease the Pakistan army's unhealthy grip on the country's domestic and foreign affairs. The generals have floundered since the raid in Abbottabad, unsettled by accusations of complicity with bin Laden or, if not, then incompetence. It has not helped that video clips show bin Laden apparently active as al-Qaeda's leader in his last years.
