I echo Bitter Scribe's admiration for her courage. It seems she felt she had little choice but to set aside her personal life, stay and try to help create a better Pakistan. A very brave woman. Time and history will see what the fallout will be. fauzia, me too… I echo Bitter Scribe’s admiration for her courage.

Poor Pakistan. I hope things don't turn completely to shit there.

Bhutto comes from a family who had one member overthrown back in the 1970s. I think it was Pakistani extremists that killed Bhutto. How sad. =/ Pakistan’s history is full of military coups.

Truly heartbreaking. For some reason, amidst all the politics that I can’t help thinking about…I’m also thinking about her three children: two daughters and a son, the youngest of whom was 14.

Everything is amplified, a personal sentimental blunder. Such as higher expectations and, consequently, greater disappointments when the case, such as hers, testifies a (to put it kindly) spotty record. Well, a politician's a politician. I agree, I feel sad Pakistan lost her not for her politics, but more for what she signified culturally. Impressive woman. I admit to having double standards when it comes to women politicians.

I can admit that I haven't done a lot of research into this but from what I did see of her on the internet and on the news... I really liked her, she seemed like someone who wanted to change things for the better, and fought hard for it. And now she's gone forever...
