The assassination of Benazir Bhutto - The 1st woman Prime Minster of the Muslim world
A sad day for Pakistan today, for losing a fighter for democracy Ms. Benazir Bhutto. But what does it mean for Pakistan and the global war against extremism and terror? Who could be behind this tragedy or gain from it and will the people of Pakistan be the ultimate sufferers in all this mess? Where does the world community stand now? Do you think if the emergency rule was kept in place, this would not have happened?
The fact is that many people will come and give their comments right now, the media has something new to show, but things would be quite different if we try to imagine whats going on in the minds of Benazir's family, her children in particular.
Now all those who were against her are standing united with one voice, why does it have to be like this?, why do we have to loose people in order to understand their value and strength? why wasn't there any security for her? And even if there were do you think that the people who wanted her dead wouldn't have thought of another way to get rid of her?
Have you ever walked the streets of Pakistan? According to international journalists and critics, Pakistan is a walking time bomb, any one on any street corner could get you killed, you will never know who is who in Pakistan. The government hires and trains terrorists, the radicals and extremists execute suicide missions, political parties rival each other to death, and family feuds that can get an entire generation massacred, that is another long story.
But the sad part in all of this is that she was going around the volatile country despite these dreadful conditions on the ground, because she wanted to do something for her people, she took the chances, she knew that instead of living alone and scared at home, it was better to die fighting.
She died at the same spot where Liaqat Ali Khan had been assassinated many years ago. I hope and pray that Pakistan and Karachi in Particular stays safe.
May God rest her soul in peace, and in heaven.

what a sad day. So many ex-pats feel hopeless and now with the death of this woman the realization occurs that we need to take back our country. Pakistan was created to generate a community for Muslims to profess their ideals in a peaceful and proactive manner. On a day like today it becomes abundantly clear that the reinstatement of the original ideals need to be priorty number one for all those who wish to see a future for Pakistan.
