Ok...

What the FUCK is wrong with these people??? Seriously...

Do they go on rampages, setting things on fire, breaking windows, everytime they break a nail or something? I mean, I understand being upset by the violence that killed the person they admired... Now they're stooping down to his level too? They're no better than the person who killed Bhutto if they feel the need to torch everything in sight. Fucking ignorant...

Look at it from their perspective - an opposition leader was assasinated, and dimes to dollars the ruling party was involved, implicitly or explicitly.

Taking to the streets to protest/fight against the government strikes me as sort of reasonable, especially after Musharraf just tried to take military control of the state in the name of saving it. I mean, put it this way. Say Obama wins the Dem nomination and is in good shape for the presidency. Suddenly, he's assasinated, and W. declares marshall law, and suspends the coming election in the name of political stability. Would taking to the streets against the Bush administration be understandable here?

This is going to get WAY uglier than this unless the ruling party takes steps to reconcile with rather than quell the opposition parties.

I'm sorry that she got killed. Kudos to her for being a woman leader in a Muslim nation. However, she asked for it. After a few failed assasination attempts she should have known better not to go outside without a shitload of security and especially stick her head out the soon roof.

Many people in America view here as a hero of democracy, but they should also remember how corrupt she was before Musharaff took over in 99. Her government is considered the most corrupt one in the history of Pakistan.... just throwing that out

Benazir Bhutto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The criticism against Bhutto came largely from the Punjabi elites and powerful landlord families who opposed Bhutto as she pushed Pakistan into nationalist reform, opposing feudals, whom she blamed for the destabilization of Pakistan.
Quote:
Bhutto maintained that the charges leveled against her and her husband were purely political.[16][17] "Most of those documents are fabricated," she said, "and the stories that have been spun around them are absolutely wrong." An Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP) report supports Bhutto's claim. It presents information suggesting that Benazir Bhutto was ousted from power in 1990 as a result of a witch hunt approved by then-president Ghulam Ishaq Khan. The AGP report says Khan illegally paid legal advisers 28 million Rupees to file 19 corruption cases against Bhutto and her husband in 1990-92.[18]

Attention India DUCK AND COVER.

I dont think (hope) they wont use their nukes - they would really be setting themselves up for a large scale UN smack down if they did (China would probably pile on them as well due to their proximity)

Any way you look at it this is going to get very very ugly

I see your point, I ran a similar situation in my head. But It just sees like if a muslim guy spills his milk, he's gotta go blow up a house or something.
