It can be difficult to be country that even Republican Congressman and American Presidential pretender Michelle Bachmann knows enough about to describe it as “too nuclear to fail”. That, in case, you were wondering, is Pakistan.

The latest from terroristan is the demo of the power of the memo. Apparently, Pak President Asif Ali Zardari was afraid he was going to be reduced to Mr Zero Per Cent by the Army and the ISI. So, the memo said.

But then the Army is honoured in Pakistan, despite losing every war it’s ever had to fight except the ones to depose elected civilian governments. But then logic has never been that country’s strong point.

So, out went Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Hussain Haqqani for apparently having masterminded the memo. The only Pakistani around who could calmly explain to the Americans why terrorism was still Pakistan’s only real export, Haqqani was targeted by the ISI and, as always, the ISI won. Tata, HH. His tenure’s now as dead as Osama bin Laden’s in Abbottabad (another thing HH had to explain).

In comes Sherry Rehman, with her liberal credentials, liberally accentuated by some pro-Army arguments. Whether or not she’ll get Birkin bags along with the Ambassadorship is not yet known.
