    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 that.Obviously people have some faith in her to win elections 2x yet ousted. Don't you see Musharraf sits and says to Bush all his anti islamic terrorist propaganda and turns to the Taliban and says boy that cowboy is stupid and he gives us 1 billion a year. When are we as people going to take a stand in what our government gives money to. Before anyone lends negative feedback try to do what Bhutto did. Don't you thing your name will be slandered with false charges? Don't you think you won't encounter the same threats.You can sit in a chair and write all the negativity you want, untill you have made a difference as such ( Bhutto),please be quiet. If you can't see the dictatorship, how bad its getting and how our government supports this, you just don't get it and go back to your big screen tv and be the arm chair quaterback of politics that your good at doing.

      I think you are the one who needs to quit watching her fantasy soaps. For one, we have no business being in the middle east. Bush puts a sticker on his suit preaching democracy and look where he has taken this country. Should we give him a standing ovation in the name of democracy?

      Any person can wear a "costume" and swear they are for democracy. Doesn't mean they are going to heaven. Actions speak louder than words. She was ousted by a President she supported. (heads up) She has been accused, more than once of corruption, malfeasance, and nepotism. Let's face it, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".

      Try reading a little more up on her before you consider her for the sisterhood. Her cause may appear to be a good one but she's had 3 shots at it and screwed each one up miserably.

      We need to get out of the middle east and start taking care of our own affairs. How can we preach democracy elsewhere and support it when we can't even get it right ourselves.

    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 [

    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

    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.

    Dude, you really have to stop smokin' so much weed. If Bush were to hold your little love-in on the front lawn of the White House, although it would be really cool in a warm and fuzzy kind of we-are-the-world way, it kind of ignores the fact that we are dealing with ANIMALS - bloodthristy, ignorent, brainwahsed, thugs. When are you idiots going to wake up and realize that this Kumbaya BS is childish and about as relevant as and helpful as an episode of Barney. You remind me of the moron who thought he could comunicate and "connect" with bears in the wilderness - just before they ate him. Would you and your 60's buddies please just stick with saving the whales, bird-flu or blathering on about this global climate change nonsense and leave American foriegn policy to the grownups? Don't you have some smoker in the neighborhood you can hassle?

    Musharraf has made a deal with the devil by secratly haboring Al Qaeda in order to placate the fundamentalist in pakistan. He most likely used al qaeda to assinate Bhutto. Now he lives on borrowed time. At some point al qaeda will gain political control of Pakistan an the nuclear arsenal there. These guys are smart and patient. Our lack of a stong secretary of state and a misguided policy will further destabilize that country. Things are really bad folks.

    "Sense" is correct. Make sure that YOU are correct before you correct and criticize others.

    Perhaps before we make her a martyr we should look at her biography and previous record. She's been ousted on 2 occasions in 1990 and 1996 for corruption and malfeasance. In 1999 for taking kickbacks from a Swiss company. Perhaps she can talk the talk but history shows that she can't walk the walk. Also, a life's lesson learned - Never stick your head out of an armored vehicle when someone is trying to kill you.

    i'M NOT WILLING TO GO OUT ON A LEADGE AND SAY IT WAS EXTREMIST WHO ARE RESPONSABLE!

THE WORST OF TWO EVEILS! EASY TO SAY AS THE 1 BILLION A YEAR[ SENSE BUSH TOOK OFFICE] THAT WE GIVE THEM NEVER SEEMS TO GET TO THE PEOPLE, JUST THE MILITARY! EASIER TO SEE WHO FUNDS HIS OPERATIONS, TO AT THE TUNE TO 1 BILLION A YEAR TIMES 7. LEADS TO FIRST SENTENCE ABOUT OUR INVOLVMENT.

      Learn how to spell if you expect people to take you seriously:
      "Leadge?"
      "Responsable?"
      "Eveils?"
      "Sense?"
      Among many other errors...

    I am sure that Bush will once again resort to using his FEAR button to keep the American fear level where he wants it to be...high. Human beings are driven to take action when motivated by either fear or love. Sadly, our president has consistently used fear to lasoo the nation to go with his egocentric goals. His tendency to be driven by his negative-ego will not make him revered in history. Another president, Abraham Lincoln, delved into the love and compassionate wells of a nation, and although a war still ensued, the American people became stronger because of what knew what they they stood for, love, tolerance and fairness. These ideals work today as well, President Bush should try it, Hope, Love and Faith. There is no fear when these are in play.

    Well, good thing the U.S. has robust military capabilities with hundreds of thousands of soldiers well-rested and ready to help out with stability if the worst should happen in this key part of the Middle East.

    Oh, wait....

    • Posted By: andrewlloyd31 @ 12/27/2007 10:44:41 PM

      Ohhh...Uh...
      Yeah, I guess you missed th part about us having 25,000 troops right next to Pakistan.
      Idiot

    This goes hand in hand with the disaster that is the Bush/Cheney/Big Oil/Zionist cabal that is destroying the United States

      You are absolutely correct.

    "WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DECEIVED"eddiewhere.
    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.
