Religions:
Muslim 97% (Sunni 77%, Shi'a 20%), other (includes Christian and Hindu) 3%

Isnt it a surprise that bombings are usual among muslims?

My condoleances to Toxie. He claims that his family was somehow tight with Bhutto's.

So, condoleances.

And this is very unfortunate. Will further instabilize Pakistan, something we don't need.

Bhutto was no saint, but at least she was a symbol for reformed politics.

Exactly, for many she was nothing but another corrupted person that just filled her pockets with the money of the pakistani people.
Anyway, thats not a reason to kill someone.

No, but her support of the US and her hatred for terrorism was.

Shit's probably going to hit the fan in Pakistan.

actually this will give musharraf the volatility he has neded to justify continuance of martial law.
piss off the radicals, blame the radicals, and the populace will support restricting the radicals further, no matter who was behind it.

Benazir, I'll shed a tear for your death at the hands of a bomber

You cover several grid squares now and its safe to say you're a goner

I cant express my anger and disgust at the horrible loathsome toad

Who blew you to bits, and vapourised your Tits and shot your flip flops over the road.

I'll raise a glass to remember your face, i saw it once on the telly

But now your toast, and a brand new ghost and your Sari is shredded and smelly.

Im outraged and mad, and a little bit sad, despite us never meeting

Still one bandwagons as good as another one, so bring on the wailing and weeping

This is terrible but killing her has turned her into a martyr, I don't think Mussharaf would have ordered it, he knows this.
Well IMO

there were 3 attacks on musharraf and he never died...btw all 3 attacks on him happened when his credibility ws low and after each attack it shot up high $:-\$ ...it ws a running joke amongst pakis " when musharaf's cred runs low...expect him to survive a taliban attack"

turning her into a martyr does jack shit for her party...as long as musharaf holds power he holds in control the billions in aid america gives to paki...i'm sure his family is set for generations to come...there is no accounting for where the $ goes..

you just watch....the upcoming paki elections ARE NOT gonna happen..

All hell is going to break loose, civil war bigtime, we've announced we're sending in special forces. I remember some plan a short time ago to seize Pakistan's nuclear weapons... hmmmm....

The stupid extremists probably think this will help their cause long term.

They just commited a terrible crime, while shooting themselves in the foot.

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #19 on:** December 27, 2007, 01:14:30 PM »

CNN has been constantly blaming the victim and each time they get called on it, they say they're not blaming her, then continue to blame her for getting killed

unfuckingreal.

geez, watching CNN, they're making it look like she planned her own death.

youandme · « **Reply #23 on:** December 27, 2007, 04:15:39 PM »

When she went back I think everyone saw this coming. Her first appearance into the mainstream the whole talk was of security and how lax it was.

What is the larger forces at work here? She was the chip we sent in to fix things, basically the last hope. The majority of people in the country did not like here (from what I have been told from thos that live in Paki) they saw her as a American, thus a enemy.

She was going to tell us and give to us the nuclear cache and let us bomb up, and hand over everything we wanted.

My mom was is a little shaken up.. She looked up to Bhutto a lot and always spoke highly of her. Her going to Harvard, being elected Prime Minister, being so intelligent and beautiful meant a lot to all south asian women, not just pakistanis in general. This is pretty sad news to me as well, as her death not only brings instability to that region, but is also a slap in the face of many women who liked and aspired to be like her. I've always been a promoter of womens' rights, which are quite limited within south asian communities unless the pockets of the family run deep.

I've never heard my mother speak much about politics, but she said Musharaf was probably behind it. Now I don't like him myself, but I think his firm grip on the country keeps it stable, but also creates more terrorism.
