Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto has been murdered, and I am sorry for her nation's loss.

I saw her as the best hope for Pakistan. Whatever was going to happen, how likely were the nutbars to fall in with a woman prime minister?

She was previously charged with corruption, but somehow the charges never held up under objective scrutiny; when the courts were not being managed by the army, her conviction was overturned.

Now we have a country that is a nuclear power, can't keep control of its own forces and is descending into political chaos.

Benazir Bhutto has been murdered, and the world is so much the worse for it.
