Bhutto murdered

[sasvermont]

Fasten your seat belts. This death will most likely take us into another tense and tangled mess. I thought it was matter of time until someone was suscessful at their attempt. How sad. How scarey. What is this world coming to?

The Middle East is so volatile.

Edited to add: I heard on news radio last night that the brother of president Musharraf is a physician in the Chicago area. I would really not want to be in his shoes right now.

It is tragic, both for her family, for her country, and for the world. She just recently said, "No true Muslim would do that," referring to an assassination attempt.

She was referring to the fact that she was a woman, and said it was
against Muslim law to kill a woman & that's what she meant by that
statement. These extremists recognize no limits with their blind hatred.

One news report I saw yesterday mentioned that she was the last of
her family (Bhutto) Her father, who was also a former PM in Pakistan,
and her two brothers were also killed by assasinations.

She does have a sister, still, but her sister lives in London and has for years, and has not been involved in Pakistani politics.

I have always admired Benazir Bhutto. I do not know the right or wrong of her politics - whether her regime was corrupt or not, but I think she was a incredibly brave woman. To have lead a Muslim nation - as a woman took such courage. To return to her country, knowing the distinct possiblity of harm...I could not have done it for one minute.

In addition to a nation (and possibly beyond) left in chaos, she leave three children. Teenagers I believe.

It is so sad how often violence is the answer....
