Former Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto assassinated

According to MSNBC, at least 20 others were also killed in the blast at Rawalpindi, Pakistan. My sympathies go out to the families of those that were killed.

This murder of a very strong&intelligent woman, whose influence tried to stablize Pakistan, will probably lead to more shakiness in Pakistan's political state.
The blame/scapegoating game has already started. :roll: Many of these conspiracy sites are already pointing the finger at George Bush as the reason/culprit for Ms. Bhutto's murder. And, many are saying "inside job".

Ms. Bhutto, as powerful as she was, had a very tragic life--marked with murders of family members, long imprisonment for her political beliefs, seperation from her children, wild gossip&rumors following her everywhere regarding her honesty as a human being. She made great sacrifices in her life in the attempt&hope to make Pakistan a better place for others to live. Lets hope her life&death was not in vain!

Those are the same conspiracy sites that believe that high-ranking UK government ministers are actually aliens in disguise, right? The US has absolutely nothing to gain from her death.

This is nothing but a tragedy. I guess Islamic extremists are the most likely culprits.

This will cause difficulties and destabilize Pakistan further.

The question is if it's just nothing but a tragedy... ???
If it was committed "only" by extremists, it's a tragedy, but if this act was enabled by an ommission of some duty or by a passive approval of respective authorities, it's a fatal tragedy!!!, especially because in such cases the culprits are never (besides some very rare exceptions) punished :cry: .
