:::::That's right. And it's not as if the [[nation state]]s with diplomatic ties to Pakistan don't know that the Pakistani parliamentary system is a bone tossed to the dog to give the illusion of (1) democracy and (2) that Pakistan has embraced modern Western notions of governance and has rejected [[Koran]]ic notions of law.
