Pakistan dances to a different drummer

Blog Simple likes to look at the big picture without the moralizing that sometimes creeps into our posts on US politics (torture bad), and we try to keep up with the big picture by going beyond the NYT and WaPo version.

To that end,China Matters has always been a great source, pointing us in directions that we hadn't thought or heard of before, such as with the N. Korea talks.

This latest post is a must read, putting China's relationship with Pakistan in perspective, and showing how the latest events in Pakistan are tied to that relationship.
