Nawaz Sherif

His face is marked by a series of concentric circles, nuclear ripples within ripples... The military uniform below the large, egg-shaped dome is starched and pressed, unruffled by explosions of this nature. His mouth is stretched by a small, self-satisfied smile, betrayed only by the fear in his eyes. Baluchistan is no more; but Nawaz Sherif's expression here means only one thing: he, and Pakistan, exist.
