Pakistan's divide grows ever deeper

Pakistan's parliament on Thursday voted to change the name of North-West Frontier Province to Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, to reflect the ethnic Pashtun dominance of the region. The militant-infested area - scene this week of a bold attack on the United States consulate - typifies the deep divisions in the country. These fissures, compounded by a weakened central government, will be exploited by militants. - Syed Saleem Shahzad (Apr 8, '10)
