#2 I got lost in the readin --- who is who? Suddenly this guy, Nawaz Sharif appears down in the article. Who is he? They all seem to think he is the second coming, or they seem totally intimidated by him... he just kinda wanders around in this article.... I missed something. And my reading comprehension scores are pretty high.
