As Pakistan threatens to fall into chaos, the martyred Benazir Bhutto may become in death what she never achieved in life
Comment: don't make the world foolish by the name of war on terrorism.
Comment: Both Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto were brought back to Pakistan from exile under US pressure. Since Musharraf is a recalcitrant US dog, the US brought in the other well mannered freshly trained dogs ( or rather a dog and a ***). The terrorists are not an issue here. It is OIL. Pakistan under Pervez Musharraf has agreed on the $7.4billion gas pipeline connecting Iran to India via Pakistan. This will put in a big hole in the bucket on the sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program. The US was not able to pressure India to abort the deal and Musharraf is going through with the project. Benazir neither die for democracy nor for Pakistan - she died for the US.
Comment: This is response to most of SKVAM's comments and posts.
No one will sweat about anything what you said,, its just an example of "Trash comes out of trashy minds ". Better to leave the trash alone.
Comment: How could someone who never had or believed in fair elections within her party ( she was a lifelong chairperson of her party) have the courage to stand in front of the world that she believed in democracy.
Comment: Mahatma Gandhi (PBUH) showed mankind the way of peace. Nelson Mandela (PBUH) and Mother Teresa (PBUH) have shown us to love the 'other'. Religion causes differences among people and is un Godly.
Comment: MUSLIMS THAT ARE MODERATES AND peaceful are susceptible to the indoctrination of the JIHAD chapter. At any time a young MUSLIM can change and carry out an attack in the name of GOD. THIS IS WHY THE CHApter of JIHAD is so dangerous. WE have kids in this country who have grown up in this country, falling under the spell. Suicide bombers are even doctors and lawyers who are citizens in western countries. The crusades happened centuries ago. Your religion has not evolved it is still in the MEDIEVAL AGES and this is a big problem. This is why BHUTTO was so visciously assassinated. IT WAS A TERRORIST WEARING BLACK GLASSES THAT CARRIED OUT THE ASSISSINATION' WOW WHAT A MESSAGE, BHUTTO USED TO WEAR AMERICAN BLACK GLASSES. THERE are MILLIONS OF pakistanis that have rejected western culture and they have sent their message. IT HAS BEEN HEARD WITH A BANG AROUND THE WORLD
Comment: Is this democracy or a family dynasty. Either you have democracy or you do not. Handing leadership to family members is the source of corruption. What a chocie, corruption and an American runned government or the Military. We need to let people choose their destiny if not we will be stuck where we do not belong. I as an American am distrurbed that we are medaling all around the world, while people on this side are starving, homeless, without health care ectt.... THis is crazy, just because Bhutto dies we would choose a nut like Guilliani.
Even moderate Muslims are swayed by the JIHAD CHApter. The offspring of these moderates have already carried out attacks in England and have tried in Canada and AMerica.Wow. Homegrown Citizens. What is amazing is how they are influenced by the Iraq war. They turn on the T.V and become enraged. It is like they have smelled "BAD BARBECUE". Their only hope to strike back is JIHAD. Remember Muslims have been indoctrinating their own for centuries. They have finally perfected it. This chapter allows leaders to indoctrinate their people all around the world. The " Ayattolah" has used this doctrine on Salman Rushdie who is an INDIAN. The only way to deal with a nuclear threat, is in private. We should gurantee all countries FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. However if the people choose an extremist government that wants to use weapons of mass destruction then they must understand the consequences. IT IS THESE SAME CONSEQUENCES THAT have DETERed RUSSIA FROM USING THEIR NUCLEAR ARSERNAL AS MUSCLE. WE WILL Annihlate YOU if you threaten with nuclear weapons. That is why the Middle East Governments threaten Israel because they know better. The same goes for pakistan, any government that takes power after Free and Fair Elections, will be delivered the same message, In addition, they will assist us in the HUNT FOR BIN LADEN. Keeping Bin LADEN alive seems to be making a lot of people rich.
Comment: THE THIRD WAVE IS COMING. We are in big trouble extremist and children of moderates all around the world are being seduced by the chapter of JIHAD. If you look at the Madrassa's they are brainwashing future genereations in that region with the chapter of JIHAD. IT is like subliminal indoctrination. This is very dangerous. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO FIGHT JIHAD FOR one hundred years. Obama is the only candidate that can change antiamericanism in that region. It just feels right voting for OBAMA
Comment: There is only one great wave that will be in time victorious: Nonviolence, democracy, and reason, all supported by compassion, forgiveness and redemption. Islam will one day be looked upon as nothing more than a modern version of Baal worship. In Carthage, they used to heat a bronze large statue to Baal and sacrifice living infants in its arms. Islam today kills with even greater coldness, beheading and being proud of it. Rock worshippers of Mecca, turn to the true faith, the faith of nonviolence and reason, whether it be Buddha, Christ, or satyagraha. Yours is a failed religion and the day you open your backward nations to the evangelism of Buddha, Christ, and the philosophies of such great nonviolent reasoners as Socrates and Gandhi, your chains, forged by Mohammed, will be broken and you will be free, free of your tyrannical governments, your hypocritical elites, your mobs who seem never to have heard of the candlelight vigil and only rocks and guns and knives, and most of all, your dead-end faith in a book that tents women to protect feeble minded men from drooling, but stupidly assumes tented women cannot drool as well. Either tent your men in that useless slave rag, the burkha, or all of you become free.
Comment: No one will sweat about anything what you said,, its just an example of "Trash comes out of trashy minds ". Better to leave the trash alone.
Comment: No one person can bring change, it takes a movement. Bhutto's death could have started this movement. Or it could of ended a movement. Only time will tell. This was prophesized that a woman leader would be assassinated and that it would impact the whole globe. Everyone thought it was a possible referal to an American president. Who thought it would have been Bhutto. THe extremist movement still has uncontrolled grudges against the Clinton's. Hillary Clinton could fuel the extremist cause. This extremist movement views "things" different. I felt bad when I heard the news partly because Bhutto was a women. To us it is an unspeakable crime but to others who belong to powerful extermist movements it is "nothing". These people do not care. We need Obama as president in order to fuel the peace process. Our best chance at peace and security is OBAMA. We need someone who's chief policy makers believe in the movement for peace and prospeity for all. One who understands that our troops are dying and that this issue is more important than their own personal political careers. After the assassination of JFK and Martin Luther KIng, the civil rights MOVEMENT succeeded under the Jonhnson administration in having civil rights legislation passed into law. It was a MOVEMENT that could not be stopped. Bin Laden is a god to extremist, he is their BHUTTO, extremist have no problems committting atrocities. In fact it is their dream, it is their end goal in life. This is why we cannot let these extremist continue to multiply. Obama is our best chance. He is also intelligent enough to know Russia and it's breakaway republics in Central Asia as well as the technological advancement of CHina and it blatent theft of intellectual property is a threat that needs to be dealt with.
THERE IS A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN BHUTTO AND AMERICAN POLITICS. Her death is a wake uP call to all Politicians and Voters
Comment: (List of TOP 10 most wanted Criminals exposed)
The real actors who planned the plot and killed Benazir Bhutto (chairperson of PPP) are:
Rtd. Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf President (The most wanted # 1)
Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 2)
Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 3)
Ejaz ul Haq PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 4)
Chaudry Zahoor Elahi PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 5)
Former Interior Minister Ali Durani PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 6)
Bgdr. Javed Iqbal Cheema Interior Minister (The most wanted # 7)
Major Gen. Rashid Qureshi PAK Army (The most wanted # 8)
Major Waheed Arshad (DG ISPR) (The most wanted # 9)
Lt. Gen. Shahid Aziz (DG ISI) (The most wanted # 10)
Most of the above belong to Pakistan Mulim League (PML Q) and Army plus Agencies.
Besides the above Top 10 list, other units that contributed furiously in killing Benazir are:
1. Core Commanders and ISI force men
2. Agencies and governing establishment who are hidden motives / sponsors to both army terrorists and their trained civilian terrorists (army Al Qaeda), were the most active and sole actors as well as organizers strategically, financially and logistically to assassinate Benazir Bhutto (former Prime Minister of Pakistan).
3. Dr. Arbab Ghulam Rahim (PML-Q) and Ex. Chief Minister of Sindh who has been a key player in killing Benazir and has been actively involved in the conspiracy against Benazir.
Also, the latest news on CNN has also confirmed the email Benazir had sent out against President Musharaf where she had said that Musharaf wants to kill her with the support of his allies and army plus agencies.
O you Pakistanis. Wake up for God sake. Enough is enough. Kick out the filthy and oppressor army and their killer agencies.
Army and Agencies kill the innocent people of Pakistan. They plan and blast remote control bombs and do target killings and then they call the innocent victims who are being killed in the bombings as attackers and Suicide bombers. Suicide bombers, the biggest myth of the history but no reality. There are no suicide bombers but all the remote control bombs get blasted. They just want to put Islam and Muslims on trail, continue brutal government and to digest the dollars that???s set.
Please forward this message to as many as possible so every Pakistani and other communities may know who are the true enemies of Pakistan, the real oppressors and terrorists.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. For God Sake. Please.
Comment: And here we see the essence of the Muslim problem: Identify presumed guilty ones, excute them fair and square, and never stop to investigate. If you are listing enemies, list the biggest enemy of Pakistan, Islam, a religion that is actually two religions, Sunni and Shiite, both of which presume to be the final word on faith, both of whom are the left and right arms of a violent faith, both of whom feed killings and murder, and both of whom formed, with Englisher support, the worthless state of Pakistan. The Pakistani people, or should I say elites since they are the ones who abuse the public blind trust, never got rid of the tyrants who murdered 1-3 million Bengalis, all Muslims, thereby nullifying the reason Pakistan was formed, as a Muslim state. India has given greater rights to Muslims than Pakistan. Pakistan should declare a secular state, allow the free flow of religious ideas and with that the conversion of the blindly violent masses, their true liberation can begin. Pakistan, with its murder of millions of Muslims in Bengal, with its persecution of Ahmadis, no longer represents any Muslims anywhere, including in Pakistan let alone Kashmir, an integral part of India, a secular state. Well, now that the dear Muslim reader has read my response, perhaps, he must get back to plotting revenge, the great mission of all Muslims against all Muslims and non-Muslims everywhere. Please, go on...kill in the name of that violent book written by that violent man.
Comment: I agree she had two opportunities as an elected prime minister. But let me refresh your memory and recall reality. When she competed in the elections the first time, the military empire via the ISI created the IJI (Islami Jumhorri Itehad). This was a clandestine attempt to deny her power as Bhutto or any other Politician of stature is considered the threat to the Military Empire and the Bureaucracy. She won the elections, but was denied power for 16 days as the Military and Bureaucratic Mob (aka Ghulam Ishaq Khan the interim President) very craftily negotiated with her to give up as much power as possible. Ghulam Ishaq Khan (like Musharraf now) got elected as the President by virtually putting a gun on her head and was able to keep 95% of the power that typically is in the hands of an elected Prime Minister. Military service Chiefs were answerable to the President and not to her. She became a Prime Minister who was no more than the Mayor of Islamabad/Chairperson of the CDA. ISI insured that the most powerful province of Punjab was ruled by their newly created alliance the IJI (the sole called champion of democracy Mr. Nawaz Sharif played totally in the hands of the Military intelligence). If she started a development project for the poor in his province he would get that project stopped and unlimited turf battles were on the cards. The Generals and the Bureaucracy were so pleased to see these fire works. Everything was going on as per plans.....even better. To add fuel to fire she had a husband who did not do any great service to her by his not so prudent behavior, He was no Dennis Thatcher. She had no support from the powers that have had a major stake in running Pakistan and its eventual callous progress. She was a newly crowned Queen who had no one to groom her. Their were conspiracies after conspiracies hatched because it was impossible to let a leader be created for the country of Pakistan as the Generals and The Bureaucratic elite would than have to return to their not so lucrative jobs and the resources of the country would not have been so easy to plunder. Military Empire and the Bureaucratic elite did their best and succeeded in their effort to make her fall from grace and Benazir Bhutto despite her Charisma but lack of experience was made to look what she was not. This is how the Generals of the Pakistan Army and the Bureaucracy insure that no political leader worth his/her name can politically survive. And if they happen to survive politically and make a place in peoples hearts than they are removed from the scene in some other way.... be it Fatima Jinnah (rig the elections),be it Mujeeb ur Rehman (they would lose half the country in the process). be it Nawaz Sharif (throw him in exile and when he returns deport him, returns again disbar him from taking part in elections) and be it the daughter of the east........rest in peace our heroine.

Comment: I think she was most influential while she was alive.
Comment: I am greatly disturbed by this act of brutality...but is Banazir Bhutto a hero for democracy? She may be an influential democratically elected Prime Minister of a democratic country but a hero for democracy I think she is not. Why? She had two opportunities as a premier and she blew it all. In the first bout she was fired in 1990 for corruption and again in 1996 she was fired for making a big mess of a govt. (the big mess stem from her appointment of her husband Asif Ali Zardari as the Investment Minister from 1993 to 1996). And now she wanted to do it again for the third time...OMG what another big mess she would create should she succeeded...well, I kind of feel no remorse for her demise except by the brutal and painful method she had to go thru!Democratically she will go down in history as a figure that we shall not look up upon.
Comment: We are in big trouble extremist and children of moderates all around the world are being seduced by the chapter of JIHAD. If you look at the Madrassa's they are brainwashing futre genereations in that region with the chapter of JIHAD. IT is like subliminal indoctrination. This is very dangerous. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO FIGHT JIHAD FOR one hundred years. Obama is the only candidate that can change antiamericanism in that region. It just feels right voting for OBAMA
Comment: Bhutto will go down in history as a martyr not unlike martyrs of the past who died trying to bring liberty to the world. Her name should be celebrated and revered all over the world; she is in effect is the mother of this democratic movement in Pakistan and other nations in that region. May God bless her family and her supporters that they can continue to fight the good fight! May God give them strength to continue to fight the tyrants that their nation is filled with and the tyrants that surround them in other nations in this region of the world. Many of our hearts in the United States go out to Bhutto's family and supporters and we pray for peace and liberty in this great nation of Pakistan and the nations that surround it; that they may have the oppurtunities we in the west too often take for granted. May God sustain those who fight for liberty and cause to be hewned down the tyrants who fight against it!
Comment: Are you a complete dunce? Don't you read Pakistani history? Those who are that ignorant should keep quiet and fool the public into thinking they're not as ignorant as they actually are. Benazir Bhutto has praised her father, who helped engineer the murder of nearly 3 million Bengalis in the early 1970s, has called the early 70s in Pakistan a time when democracy flourished, when her father, also called by Pakistanis the "Butcher of Baluchistan," subverted the results of the elections he lost, has called the Pakistani army of the time professional, when they used Nazi names for field operations to murder, has supported terror groups in Afghanistan and India, and was corrupt. Even with a Harvard degree, some stuff that floats to the top is just rank. You are utterly ignorant about her history, her family's history, and Pakistani history. And you are quite irrationally emotional about it. You have gone into a swoon. When you overcome your overly emotional, irrational state, read, read, read, and don't be like Benazir, a denier of mass murder and a person who praised the people who committed it. You sound politically correct, but rationally inept.

THERE IS A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN BHUTTO AND AMERICAN POLITICS. Her death is a wake uP call to all Politicians and Voters.
Comment: eddiewhere- what does Hillary and/or Obama have anything to do with Pakistan and the death of Bhutto??? Do not use this incident to try and sway American voters one way or the other. The deaths of JFK and MLK are not in the same category as the murders taking place in the Middle East.
Comment: Pakistan is a strange nation- it was created as a 'homeland' for a religious group. It's founding resulted in the displacement of people from their centuries old homes and the death of millions. How could any good come from it? Pakistan- R.I.P.
Comment: That's funny, it sounds just like the founding of our nation, the USA -- we displaced millions of Native Americans and pretty much fluctuate between extremist religous movements and assassinations of our most charismatic, gifted leaders -- the two Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King. I think the US and Pakiston have quite a lot in common. Especially with Bush Administration spending so foolishly to support a dictator like Musharraf, not to mention the war in Iraq - which is all about making money for his buddies.
Comment: Politically correct, but incredibly stupid to compare Mohammed Ali Jinnah (do you even know who he is, if not, notroubleatall, take the trouble to learn instead of being a simpleton) to Jefferson, Payne or others. You skip around ranting one moment at Bush and another comparing foundings of nations. Don't you know how to reason? If not reason, how about common sense? You are an example of ill informed and lazy thinking at its worst. Take the trouble and learn, or better yet, go to Pakistan one day and see for yourself what a failed state looks like, where corruption is rife, and whose military engaged in one of the great mass murders of the last century, in Bengal. But that might make you think, notroubleat all, and you may not be able to have your silly foamy opinions hold up in the light of knowledge.

Comment: Somilia, USS COLE, First trade center bombing, embassy in Tanzania ect... duffle. The extremist movement against America begam after the first invasion of Iraq. American troop presence the root cause. I am not saying Hillary is not capable, I just think that Barak Obama has the right instincts and skills to tame that region. He is part of a movement that is very determined to succeed. Hillary Clinton will be an asset to the OBAMA presidency. Hillary Clinton is not a figure that will be welcomed in the traditional Muslim world as president, as a member of OBAMA's presidency YES. WHY?because it is a different culture. This is the first time a woman actually has a chance to become president. That is cutting edge even for our culture, imagine how it is perceived in the Muslim world, they are not ready yet. OBAMA just represents unity, it is what this country needs now.

Comment: islam is a dark and evil religion, it advocates for evil, deceit and murder. it advocates for ignorance and injustice.
ISLAM IS A CANCER TO OUR WORLD. Everywehere it goes it destroys.
Regardless of the situation it's always the same. where there is islam there is repression, evil, and violence.
The great prophet Mohammed had siphilis, and married a 9 year old child. what kind of sickkos can believe in a pedophile?????!!
Comment: Please Pakistani people, you are smart people. What is going on in your country?If you contiue like that you loose all the good things you have.Pakistans land is fertile enough to give an other Benazir, Please make sure she will be OK.
Comment: to me the assasination of Benazir Bhutto is the assasination of democracy and meritocracy.
From: saif ul haq... Chitral(Booni), North Pakistan
Comment: The sad event and the great loss that happened in Pakistan can happen wherever peoples education in a proper way is ignored. Pakisatan and many other third World countries need radical basic changes to modify peoples way of thinking.

Comment: It is a barbaric act to have such a famous lady , and it is a sad day in pakistan that will ever be remember for the life history of pakistan. Bhutto killer and perpetrator most bring to book to face the rule of the law. she left a good lagecy that we ll ever be emulate forever, her is a blow to the of pakistani Democracy, it is a sad day.
May her soul rest in peace.

Comment: No doubt that demise of Benazir is a great Worldly loss.But Iam quite sure that the Pakistani Land is fertile enough to give an other Benazir.The question is how can we make sure that Pakistan will be alright in the future? What has happened has happened.Pakistani people need to sit at differet levels and decide about their future.
Comment: Dear SKVAM,
calling something or someone by its true name (with correct spelling) is very important. Mussalmans = Muslims.
While I understand your anger and frustration with Islamic fundamentalist, I encourage you to open your mind as well as heart and try to understand that one group or certain groups of Jihadist or extremist or whatever you may choose to call them do not make up or define the entire community.
Comment: Toleration demands we set aside our capacity to reason. Also, we can only go by what their own book and prophet said, and much of it is violent. See for yourself. I say Mussalmans because these people are trapped in this book, misled by it, and use it rightly, by the way, to justify brutality and violence. Mohammed himself used a sword and killed and enslaved. So did his followers, who were not only following the words of his creation, but his personal actions. Muslims, if you wish, have acted on their lethal book by burning, killing and forcing conversion. Yes, their entire community is defined and chooses to be defined by that book. No violent religion is a true religion as violence forces false conversions and no God can possibly be satisfied by a cowed and frightened congregation. Jesus was nonviolent; Buddha was nonviolent, Gandhi was nonviolent though Hinduism is not. If you don't like religion, be Socratic, Socrates who said violence negates reason. No I call them Mussalmans because, trapped by this violent book, they are culture destroyers. They cry about a few years out of 100 of the Crusades, but for 900 years, they followed their book and ruined many a civilization from Europe to Africa to Asia. Enough is enough. These people fear evangelism because their so-called holy book is false and they have no defense to its recommended and prescribed brutalities. Just a small example: The Koran says to whip the adultress; Jesus forgives and enlightens her accusers in the process by words alone. if there is a God, he is pleased with Jesus and rejects Mohammedan violence.
Comment: I don't know about anyone else reading these comments, but I've had just about enough of ignorant Americans (I'm a US citizen myself) dissing the Koran and Moslems, holding up Evangelism or the Baptist or some OTHER FUNDAMENTALIST faith as the "true" religion - calling the Koran and Moslem faith "false". How appalling ignorant. I'm ashamed to be an American with dummies like this raging against something they themselves actually adhere to, only it's called "Christianity" instead of "Moslem" -- we support killing and violence in Iraq in a failed policy implemented by a totally failed (some might even say flawed) so-called "Christian" president, and we have a serious problem of Fundamentalism in our own country driving our ill fated policies, political choices in the elections, and possibly even the future of our entire global economy. Our enemy is Fundamentalism - call it extremism, terrorism or what you will - the basic impetus is Fundmentalist Religion of any sort - and this goes for Jews, Christians, Arabs alike.
Comment: Now that your rant is done, you're comparing apples and oranges. Followers of any religions can be murderers, but founders and founding documents of all religions are often accepted as the infallible word of God. If that is the case, then compare the words of one religion to the words of the other religion. Have you bothered to read the words of Christ or Buddha and compared those to the words of Mohammed? If not, it is not I but you who is profoundly ignorant. Toleration is for lazy thinkers; engaging in reasoning is far better. Nonviolence is the only way because resorting to violence is irrational, as the greatest of philosophers, Socrates, notes. Fundamentalism in the service of nonviolence is not the same as fundamentalism in the service of violent words. What you say sounds so wonderfully politically correct, but intellectually lazy and inept. Read, don't just be a ranting fool.
Comment: As I remembere on 1989 when I was in Pakinstan, Taliban was fully supported by Bhutto. you know well that Taliban and Al-Qudeh both have in close relationship with Pakistan. Also Pakistani soldiers helped Taliban. On the other hand, I beleived that most ladies in Pakistan liked Buhtto and there was a type of semi- democracy in Pakistan. But in fact and unfortunately Terrorism on that date was supported by Pakistan and US.
But as a person who beleives on democracy, terrorism in any shape and kind is against humanity and civilization and I am very sorry for what happened in Pakistan.
Comment: I would not consider Benazir Bhutto "the beacon of democracy" she is being called, instead I think she instilled hope in the masses, who believed in her, to bring change that (needless to say) she never did in her last two terms as prime minister. Her sudden death is sad not to mention a dark reminder of what the world is becoming with our help.

Comment: What has happened to civility, humanity? When will we be able to understand one another instead of sharing the one thing we have in common...arrogant, ignorant hatred. Who lives peacefully anymore...Godspeed...to whichever God you believe in.
Comment: Benazir Bhutto waxed nostalgic for the early 1970's in a November 14th editorial to the Washington Post. These were horrifying years for what was then East Pakistan. There was no "awesome, almost miraculous power of a people to change policy." When the East Pakistani (Bengali) political party won national elections, West Pakistan massacred one to three million Bengalis, and about ten million Bengalis fled into India. This nightmare began with an assault upon the students and professors at Dhaka University. Bhutto has recently also said that the Pakistani army of the mid 1960s was a "professional" army, yet it is this army that murdered millions and raped and tortured, at times using Nazi names for its field actions, a fact reported by Jack Anderson. It is this murderous army that returned to Pakistan, corrupting its body politic further. Pakistan died in the early 1970s under the weight of mass murder of Bengali Muslims. Mrs. Bhutto has admiration for her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who refused to accept the results of the election, which he lost, and threatened to break the legs of anyone in his political party who accepted the results. Her father supported the military actions through 1971. He was complicit in the mass murders. That sorry mass murder by Muslim West Pakistan against Muslim East Pakistan was well documented by Jack Anderson, the columnist, by Robert Payne, the historian, and by a number of personal testimonies of Bengalis. Pakistan never tried its mass murderers. Mass murder is never to be forgotten. Those who forget do not deserve to be leaders, though they may somehow float to the top [and though some of the waters they floated through are called ???Harvard.???]. Corrupt, inefficient, blind to mass murder, a supporter of the Taliban and somone who recognized the Taliban government, only one of two nations in the world to do so, a supporter of terrorism against India, why mourn?
Comment: Oh, and by the way, one could easily argue that the US Aministration is the perpetrator of many mass murders, directly and indirectly, during our 200+ year history. Think back to the 1970s, sinc e you want to dredge that decade up: We (CIA) helped Pinochet oust Chile's first DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER, and made sure he was assassinated too. That was under Nixon and Kissinger, the great duo in so many other respects. Why do you think Ms. Bhutto has such an incredible following in Pakistan? Because of her father, her family - they represent Pakistan's ONLY DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERSHIP, whether or not you "approve" of that. Our policies are very often totally misguided (I won't even go on about Iraq!!!) and your comments seem to wipe the truth totally from consideration -- perhaps much like the Bush Administration is so apt to do? Why? Why would you or anyone in the US be against a DEMOCRATICA:LLY ELECTED LEADER in any other country besides those in the Western Hemisphere? Why don't you write an essay on the topic, I'd most certainly get a kick out of hearing more drivel.
Comment: Well, SKVAM, you obviously swallow the US policy line (Bush Administration and Bush Sr., plus Nixon, and Reagan of course) -- actually, wasn't the US involved in making sure Zia executed Bhutto Sr. and aren't we, the USA, perpetrators of some of the grossest policy manipulations in the history of Human Rights ourselves? Let's not dismiss the complexity that you are so obviously well read about, by dissing Bhutto Sr., who as I understand was Pakistan's FIRST ELECTED (DEMOCRATICALLY) LEADER EVER. We supported Zia, his opponent, and therefore looked away when Zia had Bhutto Sr.hung. I itoo have my personal informants, and I believe them as they're not influenced by a totally corrupt, dicatorial regime that our own Administration represents.
Comment: You are an incredibly emotional person. I feel as if I am dealing with what in the old days was called hysteria. I strongly suggest, if you have the guts, to go to your Switzerland, your Pakistan, and see what it is really like. And, little notroubleatall, two wrongs don't make a right. Bhutto was not elected, he lost the election to Rahman of the Awami League, of Bangladesh. Bhutto, the cowardly criminal, delayed negotiations so that the Pakistani army had time to sail around India and get to Bengal, then the coward left and the Pakistani army proceeded to butcher Bengalis, beginning with mass murder of intellectuals, students and professors, and the intelligentsia of Bengal. You are utterly ignorant. These United States of America are paradise compared to that hell-hole, that failed state where Sunni and Shiites blow each other up like there's no tomorrow. But, by all means, my little emotional one, go to Pakistan and become an aid worker there, see how long you live.
Comment: It is act of barbaric to Pakistan to have killed such a famous leader i know those who have hand in killing most not go unpounish we ll all emulate your courage and legacy, it is sad moment day.
Comment: Benazir Bhutto in the past has waxed nostalgic of the Pakistan of the past, including the early 1970s, when her father was leader. These were horrifying years for what was then East Pakistan. There was no "awesome, almost miraculous power of a people to change policy" as she said in one edtorial to the Washington Post.

Those who forget do not deserve to be leaders, though they may somehow float to the top [and though some of the waters they floated through are called ???Harvard.???]. Lest we forget, her government assisted and financed and recognized the Taliban government, which only one other nation did. She led a corrupt government. In what phantasy was she a hope, or a light for democracy, when she has celebrated the murderous history of that failed state?
Comment: SKVAM, how do you know the US wasn't behind this dreadful massacre of Bengalis in the 1970s? We were involved in Chile, for example, making sure their first DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER was ousted and assassinated. It wouldn't surprise me if our own CIA (or some other rogue organization under US and other auspices) arranged to have this massacre bloody up Bhutto's hands back then, spurring Zia to feel justified in deposing and hanging him. All under our guidance and with our full (covert) support. We are the Axis of Evil, truly. I hate to think that about my own country, but I'm increasingly dismayed by the corruption, ignorance, and exploitation of the Christian right by the cynical Republic leadership we've got in power. I don't hold that any Democrat would be that much better either. It's quite depressing. Not even the USA is a true Democracy - we're beginning to look like a benign dictatorship run by the ones with the most money and the most to gain by war, destruction and corruption. Or maybe we were always like that; I just grew up.
Comment: You ask how do I know the US wasn't behind it. You have to ask because you are fundamentally an unread person satisfied to rant. I know the US was a supporter of it because of what Jack Anderson of the Washington Post wrote and what Robert Payne the historian wrote in his book "Massacre." And there you go again, comparing the Republicans (and I am NOT a Republican) to the lowest of these murdering lowlifes that have dominated Pakistani politics. Get over yourself and read. I know better than you what role the US played, but no American held the hands of the hundreds of thousands of West Pakistani troops as they burned dormitories at Dacca University and machinegunned the students and faculty as they attempted to escape. Your ignorance is so incredible! Ranting does not make for truth. Rant less, read more; being ignorant in this information age is what idiots do.
Comment: By the way, my informationally challenged hormonally charged friend, putting words in ALL CAPS does not make it the truth. Lincoln used to tell a story about a lawyer who ranted, and his opposing lawyer sat and listened to the rant without a word for quite some time. When the first lawyer was done, the opposing lawyer got up, rolled up his sleeves and loosened his collar like the first lawyer and ranted for the same amount of time, but without saying one word. When done, he rolled his sleeves back down, buttoned his collar and tightened his tie and said, "Now that I have responded to my opponent, let me get down to the facts of this case." Emote less, read more.
Comment: I am trying very hard to resist the urge to judge the dead; "Benazir Bhutto" but one question keeps popping up on my mind i.e what did the late Bhutto do or did not do in her tenure as the Prime Minister of Parkistan to improve positively the lot of the ordinary people of Parkistan. I strongly believe that an expose of and a good understanding of her contributions (if any) will assist us in assesing whether the late Bhutto (is) the DEMOCRAT that the Parkistanis and the world have been clamouring for.
Strongly speaking Bhutto's assassination is wicked and an evil that will not do the perpetrator(s) any good.

Comment: Bush sucks plain and simple. The worst part is that everybody on here speaks about his judgement as if he makes all the decisions. Come on lets be honest people, we know he doesnt even write his own speeches, why would he make his own decisions. We know his decisions are mostly made for him and he signs. He doesnt have a back bone so even if he feels something is morally incorrect do you really think he's going to stand up for america?No, he's going to do exactly what he's told to do. How does this slip through our minds.I feel sorry for the guy, I hope he's able to sleep, live, and one day pass on without this on his conscious.I'm definately not for him but then again i'm not for spineless human beings away. As far as Bhutto goes I don't know much about her besides that she told for right doing.Bush, since your title is president and I can't speak to the people that pull your puppet string please tell us how many more people have to die for a war they didnt start?If your really our president,supposedly a modern day americanized version of a king, you need to strap one of those vest on, fatigue up, and fight with our troops, thats is - if you feel your life is worth it. -Focuzd,south florida
Comment: focused i would have to disagree but i am NOT mad for your decision. i am in the service and i am glad to do what i do. the real question is in in job in the world do the top poeple make the decisions or is there someone else that makes it for them? in all my life i have see the owners and CEOs and everyone else that is the BIG boss never make the decisions. they just do what other people that work for the tell them to do. jeff

Comment: (List of TOP 10 most wanted Criminals exposed)
The real actors who planned the plot and killed Benazir Bhutto (chairperson of PPP) are:
Rtd. Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf President (The most wanted # 1)
Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 2)
Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 3)
Ejaz ul Haq PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 4)
Shaikh Rashid Ahmad PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 5)
Former Interior Minister Ali Durani PML ??? Q (The most wanted # 6)
Current Interior Minister The Care Taker (The most wanted # 7)
Major Gen. Rashid Qureshi PAK Army (The most wanted # 8)
Major Waheed Arshad (DG ISPR) (The most wanted # 9)
Lt. Gen. Shahid Aziz (DG ISI) (The most wanted # 10)
Besides the above Top 10 list, other units that contributed furiously in killing Benazir are:
??? Core Commanders and ISI force men
??? Agencies and governing establishment who are hidden motives / sponsors to both army terrorists and their trained civilian terrorists, were the most active and sole actors as well as organizers strategically, financially and logistically to assassinate Benazir Bhutto (former Prime Minister of Pakistan).
??? King of Saudi Arabia who has been a key player and wants to sustain the same kind of dictatorship in Pakistan the way he has in his country, in Egypt and Turkey etc.
Also, the latest news on CNN that also confirmed the email Benazir had sent out against President Musharaf where she had said that Musharaf wants to kill her with the support of his allies and army plus agencies.
O Pakistanis. Wake up for God sake. Enough is enough. Kick out the filthy and oppressor army and their killer agencies.
Army and Agencies kill the innocent people of Pakistan. They expose the remote control bombs and do target killing and then they call the innocent victims who are being killed in the bombings as Suicide bombers???A big myth in the history. There are no suicide bombers but all the remote control bombs. They just want to make Islam and Muslims on trail nothing else. That???s set.
Comment: The problem is which leader is in power, on the American side or any other side of the fence. The problem with the Middle East, and other "hot zone" areas around the world, is the idealism of religion. It is good to have faith and ideas, but beliefs are what is killing people. Many men throughout history have died due to another man's beliefs, be it Jihad or Catholicism or any other organized belief structure. Beliefs are too rigid and not subject to easy change. Ideas are better because they are not so absolute. This trend of war and destruction will continue until Mankind can learn to compromise beliefs for ideas.
Comment: it's really sad to know when people are doing things much more for their power. why cant they do it with always one thing in mind, and that's creating peace and order for the country. the world is realistic in the sense that many are doing sometime with their own motive instead of just doing goodwill.
Comment: Benazir, may God rest your soul in peace, this is the first time when I could not controlled my emotions, you were the symbol of boldness, the poor people of pakistan are mourning this tragic death.
Comment: this world is so real on keeping the power, instead of focusing on what's best for the people. keeping the order of a country will always be the most fundamental thing to do. everybody will see. it's really sad how people get engrossed in their own achievement of authority, instead of really making some contributions.
fallen souls of mankind.
Comment: We are in big trouble extremist and children of moderates all around the world are being seduced by the chapter of JIHAD. If you look at the Madrassa's they are brainwashing futre genereations in that region with the chapter of JIHAD. IT is like subliminal indoctrination. This is very dangerous. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO FIGHT JIHAD FOR one hundred years. Obama is the only candidate that can change antiamericanism in that region. It just feels right voting for OBAMA
Comment: THE ONLY REASON WHY EVERTHING IS GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS ALL BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT BUSH, I DONT KNOW WHY HE HAS TO INTERFER IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN HE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN AND TRY TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN HIS OWN COUNTRY!!!! INSTEAD OF BEING JEALOUS OF THE MIDDLE EASTERN PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE THINGS IN SOME THINGS AND HE DOESN'T. INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE DIEING EVERYDAY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND WAIT I FORGOT..PRESIDENT BUSH'S PEOPLE ARE DIEING ALSO..AND WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE SENDING THE SOILDERS OUT THERE BY TRYING TO DEFEAT THEMSELVES WHEN NOT THEY ARE DIEING.....IF EVERY PRESIDENT CAN JUST MIND THIER OWN BUSINESS AND DEAL WITH WHAT THEY HAVE AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR COUNTRY INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT OTHER COUNTRIES...MAY GOD BE WITH YOU BENAZIR AND GOD BLESS YOU!
Comment: Somilia, USS COLE, First trade center bombing, embassy in Tanzania ect... duffle. The extremist movement against America begam after the first invasion of Iraq. American troop presence the root cause. I am not saying Hillary is not capable, I just think that Barak Obama has the right instincts and skills to tame that region. He is part of a movement that is very determined to succeed. Hillary Clinton will be an asset to the OBAMA presidency. Hillary Clinton is not a figure that will be welcomed in the traditional Muslim world as president, as a member of OBAMA's presidency YES. WHY?because it is a different culture. This is the first time a woman actually has a chance to become president. That is cutting edge even for our culture, imagine how it is perceived in the Muslim world, they are not ready yet. OBAMA just represents unity, it is what this country needs now. The Clinton's are my second choice.
Comment: you know what really makes me sick about PRESIDENT BUSH,,,,,is that he interferes in other countries because hes so jealous of the middle east because they have more than AMERICA...i think if he stayed out of the middle eastern business than nothing would have had happen to other countries causing wars people dieing everyday BECAUSE WHY???? JUST BECAUSE OF THE OIL AND JEALOUSY!!!!!!. i really think president BUSH should get out of president's...

Comment: Oh and the next American President, in my opinion, should be anyone who does not interfere with any other stuff than America's own. Thats the best possible president right there for you. In my opinion, that will be the best in the interest of the American public.
Comment: And right now that Presidential hopeful would be Ron Paul.
Comment: I am a Pakistani citizen and am in Islamabad right now, have been in this city for my entire life. And I just have to say this: WHO DIED AND MADE AMERICA, SUPER NANNY? The US has enough problems of it own to tackle. They just need to stop interfering in what another country is going through. We never asked for this enforced help. Thankyou. We will settle our own problems. The only thing America has done so far, is to enrage the Muslim world further by false accusations and unnecessary interference.
I'm by no means a hater. But if I don't intrude in the American system "to supposedly set right" your problems such as Bush, increasing crime rate and whatnot, I just don't see why the US has any rights to do that for us.
Jihad is encouraged in Islam but here's a little simple shocker: Do you know the difference between self-DEFENSE and ATTACK? Jihad is by all means, the former and never the latter. So if anybody is commiting agression under the name of Jihad, they are no more Islamic than Britney Spears.
Kudos to so many of my Western brothers whose posts above have shown incredible wisdom and moderation.
Comment: Are there Pakistani citizens, or subjects to the lethal military and intelligence services and fodder for the madrassas and islamofascist killing machines?
Comment: What idiocy. The Koran is violent. Jihad may be an act of meditation, but Mohammed repeatedly used violence and encouraged it in his book, the Koran. The brutality of the Muslims in the slave trade in Africa, in the destruction of native civilizations, in the destruction of art and libraries, in the destruction of temples and stupas and churches, is well documented. Pakistan is a failed state; stop blaming others. Indeed, there is no Islam, only Sunni and Shiite, both of whom are more than happy to kill each other as if there is no tomorrow. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword; those who choose a religion of the sword should be man enough to accept it when they lose over and over and over and over again.
Comment: Ignorance is held by all sides, America and Pakistan. We may dabble in Pakistan's policies and government but we have to due to political interest. Pakistan would do the same with America if they had the power and influence to do so. Yes, we have our own problems but to put it in perspective, our countries problems are relatively weak by comparison. We do not have a country on the brink of civil war and we do not have a country that houses terrorists and nuclear threats. It is a much different situation there and someone must address it since the rest of the world turns their heads away from such problems. Problematic countries do not get better without aid just as a diseased hospital patient does not get better without treatment.
Comment: OBAMA THAT OBAMA THIS, IT DON'T MATTER WHO IS IN THE W.H. AS LONG AS WE KEEP OUR NOSES OUT OF THERE BUISN, EVERYONE LOVES TO QUOTE REAGAN WELL HOW BOUT THE ONE LINER AFTER 241+ MARINES DIED. HE SAID "MIDDLE-EASTERN POLITICS IS TO COMPLICATED FOR US TO INTERFERE WITH " DU, THIS DEATH WHICH WE ARE MOST LIKELY INVOLVED IN, IS A FLINT TO A FUSE, TO BLOW AND RELESE CIVIL WAR, OR JUST ANOTHER PROFIT SOURCE FOR OUR CURRENT GOVENMEMT, AND A QUICKER WAY TO GET WHAT THEY DID NOT GET FROM IRAQ-A BODY COUNT-OURS! SO WE ARE ALL OVER IRAN LIKE FLIES ON RICE FOR THINKING ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER, AND HERE IS A NUCLEAR COUNTRY, AND WE ARE BACKING HITLER,STALIN, HUSSAIN,BIN-LAUDEN ALL ROLLED UP INTO ONE, WITH A POL POT MENTALITY! HE WILL STILL GET HIS 1 BILLION A YEAR FROM US AND THE PEOPLE WILL SEE NOTHING, AND THE MILITARY WILL SEE IT ALL, BUT FOR WHAT HE STUFFS INTO HIS POCKETS! WE WILL GIVE HIM ANOTHER NEXT YEAR TO, EVEN IF THE TERRORIST ALL GATHER IN PAKISTAN, UNITE AND CHILL WITH MUSHARRAF AND WE STILL BACK HIM??? THE WORST OF TWO EVILS! THE BEST OF TWO EVILS IS NO LONGER IN OUR WAY, OF PUTTING MUSHARRAF IN CHARGE FOR LIFE! GEE, MAKES YOU REALLY WOUNDER IF EXTREMIST EVEN HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, AS ANY ONE CAN WRITE OR CALL AND SAY YOU FROM??? TO ACHIEVE YOUR OWN GOAL, NOW CAN'T YA! OBAMA AS GOOD A HE IS, CAUSE HE LISTENS! MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AS TO WHAT IS, OR COULD, HAPPEN. IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN!
Comment: i just want to comment on the state of mind of this writer becuse when u re going to analise about something , u should be an honest and nutrual person. imyself belongs to mass media and if im not wrong u are trying here to be a critic but not the critacal. this is u guys basic problem that u only want to see what is to be seen by urself not in real but virtual. so plz try be as honest and nutrual because its the boundness of your profession and code of ethics as well. by nasir hassan [
Comment: Respose to eddiwhere: I understand that JIHAD is a big trouble for you. But please look into the reason for this. If you give equal rights to everybody, all will be happy and no reason for JIHAD. BUT you should try to know what is happening in PALESTINE, KASHMIR and AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ and all other parts of the world. Americans are tring to crush Muslims and undo favouring their opponents. I would also feel right for OBAMA and wish that he could provide justice for all without being biased.
Comment: You Mussalmans are your own worst enemies. What of the 1-3 million Bengali Moslems murdered by West Pakistan in the 1970s? What of the Sunni Shiite mutual murder fest? What of your destruction of others' places of worship, your cowardly tenting of your women, to protect your men from drooling; what of all those dictatorships in so-called Moslem countries? Stop whining. You had 900 years of wanton destruction and murder throughout Africa and Asia and Europe (where your exported nearly one million slaves to north Africa). Indeed your own court historians documented your barbarity. Library burners, temple destroyers, art smashers, you are your own worst enemy. You fear dialogue, that is why you ban evangelism in your pathetic nations. Stop crying; your "defense" sure looks like disgusting and low offense to the world.
Comment: All of this is nonsense because it is inevitable that within five years, regardless of who is in charge now or who may be in charge next year, Pakistan will become an Islamic Republic. Nothing can stop this. The Age of Monarchies has passed, the Age of Democracies has passed, the Age of Colonial Empires has passed, the Age of Dictatorships has passed, the Age of Communism has passed, the Age of Religious Oligarcy has passed, and it is now the Age of Islamic Republics that we are entering. And the United States will do all in its power to make these new Islamic Republics hate us and want us removed from the stage. We shall do so in the name of maintaining "Democracy" which we babble fatuously about wanting to spread around the world. The United State cares nothing for "Democracy;" the United States is in the process of promoting right wing military dictatorships. Left wing dictatorship, bad; Democracy, bad, Socialism, bad; religious leadership, bad; monarchy, bad; right wing military dictatorship, good. The United States will find itself once again caught wrong footed by its posture of ignoring the realities of the situation and its failure to seek some accomodation with the new leader nations of the world. And even though it is highly unlikely, if we elect a black man with a Muslim middle name as our leader, I fear it wil only encourage the leaders of the current Muslim States like Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Syria, Saudi Arabia and those that will be emerging in Asia and Africa to stand up even harder to our policies. I think Obama would make a good President but I beleive those who think he would be advantageous to our position in dealing with the Islamic Republics are sorely mistaken. He would be a red flag before a bull.
Comment: There is no Islam, only Sunni or Shiite, and they hate each other. There is no people of the book, only murderers waving the violence ridden Koran, words of it's violence ridden founder.

Comment: I wish we (americans) were so focused into our world as we are at pointing out other faults (Bhutto). Everyone has gotten some form of kickback. We can easily charge people with things as such to easily defame the person. We see it in american politics all the time.Our fathers of the constitution fought for us not to be where we are. Yet what have we done to counter act our situation here. Bhutto was trying to
