Zadari caved to opposition and protesters and reinstated Chief Justice Iftikar Chaudry today and lifted security restrictions on Sharif (opposition leader) and the Punjab province.
This is a win for the independent judiciary and democracy in Pakistan. But Sharif should make sure he tempers his own ambitions and puts the people of Pakistan first. Nonviolent democratic opposition is great. But at the end of the NYTimes article on Pakistan today he states, "This is a prelude to revolution." He should be careful destabilizing the country if PM Zadari is willing to cooperate and reform.
