Benazir Bhutto R.I.P.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Bhutto's assassination. I have much respect for her. In case you don't know, she served as Pakistan's Prime Minister before she was exiled from the country. She returned in October to run for the position. There was an earlier attempt on her life and much turmoil has occurred since her return. The election was scheduled for January 8 and now there is no telling what will occur.

She was on a mission for democracy for Pakistan. This is a woman that truly believed in something. I saw an interview with her back in October where the interviewer asked if she felt threatened for her life. She remarked that a true Muslim would not kill her because she was a woman and that was against their law. It is no surprise that these people don't play fair...
