Collegiate!

Juan Cole says that Barney Rubin's exegesis of the Pakistan situation is like a college course on the matter, and I agree.

Go read it. All of it. And the comments. It's more than you ever wanted to know. And maybe half as much as you're going to need.

While you're over there, be sure to read everything else Rubin has written and linked to.

Give ya cold chills.
