Bhutto murdered

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.

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....

I read her autobiography several years ago. Even at a young age she was an extremely intelligent articulate young lady. Like ES said I don't know the right or wrong of her politics but I sure admired her.

Some of the news coverage that I watched last night expressed concern that such a thing could happen in a country that also has nuclear weapons. The worry was that if security was not good enough to keep this from happening just how good is their security with regard to their weapons. Then again, we have nuclear weapons here and all sorts of horrible things have happened to us. *sigh* Unfortunately I don't think there is any place safe from madness these days.

She was such a pretty woman as well as courageous. I remember seeing on the news when she arrived back in Pakistan. I could tell she really loved her country.

Such a sad sad thing!
