A Hero for Democracy?
"She was a woman of extraordinary courage who returned to Pakistan in the face of death threats. And even after an assassination attempt the day of her return, she did not flinch," Sen. Joseph Biden, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said today in a statement. "Her assassination makes it all the more urgent that Pakistan return to a democratic path."
The question now is how—with one of democracy's most prominent and popular champions dead.

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.
