But so convoluted are Pakistan's politics that the march led by Tahir ul Qadri is read by many as an indication that the army is planning another intervention in government. If that happens, it will be a catastrophe for the country. Mr Qadri, a cleric who served briefly as a politician under the latest military dictator, has recently returned from Canada and says he wants a "revolution" against the civilian government. He has emerged from nowhere, yet organised a march which arrived in Islamabad on January 14th--no mean feat, since marches are usually banned in the city--and which was broadcast non-stop on television. Pakistan's many conspiracy theorists, encouraged by the country's many conspiracies, suspect that he may be the army's latest favourite to replace the politicians with whom the soldiers have lost patience.
