In sad news Benazir Bhutto, former PM and Pakistan's opposition leader, was assassinated today after a waste of sperm opened fire on her and later blew himself up. President Pervez Musharraf has placed his troops on high alert fearing further bloodshed as the country's anger is fueled by this act of terrorism.
Bhutto was seeking a third term as PM in the upcoming January elections after spending eight years in self imposed exile. Noted as the first woman elected to such a high office in a Muslim state, proponents praised her as symbol of progress. Critics bashed her for issues ranging from her gender to her imposing self importance, but still Bhutto...oh you still don't give a damn do you? Okay fine. Stop reading and go back to your regularly scheduled news of pop teen pregnancy. Oh and bite ass.
"Right now, they feel they have lost their voice, and their miseries have increased since my departure." - Benazir Bhutto

I care. This totally sucks. Our cab driver told us about it.
I saw the news when I went on the net...it's sad.
It would be very difficult to convince me that Musharraf and his people were not behind this.
It terrifies me to know they have nuclear weapons.
It is frustrating isn't it? When hope is slashed away in a fit of stupidity.
Sad news.
I wonder how many votes she will get now?
