Minister Benazir Bhutto Assassinated in Pakistan
First, our sincere condolences go out to the family & followers of Benazir Bhutto. The day she returned to Pakistan, I said they’d try to take her out, & they did. Sadly it seems that Musharraf didn’t have the ability to protect her. We of course don’t know for sure that he wasn’t behind her killing, but I doubt it seriously. It would not seem to be in his best interest in the long run. Unfortunately Benazir herself bought into the idea of a moderate Islam, saying that “no Muslim would try to kill a woman, for fear of burning in hell.” Sadly this is not the Islam we have all come to know. The bottom line is that nothing good can come out of murdering a female revolutionary that was loved by so many people. The ripple effect will be felt all the way to the west, & once again we see that the hatred of democracy & freedom is the driving force behind Militant Islam.
It’s sad to me because I saw this coming. Al Qaeda would be a winner in this type of event with more opportunity to move about in a country that’s mired in turmoil, so look for them to emerge as one of the main suspects. It’s possible that this was nothing more than Bin Laden’s opportunity to make a move from his region of exile. It’s of course hard to say who was behind this, but time will tell. If the situation escalates, it would certainly pull forces off the border to keep order, & like I said, we all know who’s being protected by tribes in the border region between Pakistan & Afghanistan. ~Dan Lee
Afterthought:
I hope we don’t have to go in there & help stabilize, but if we have to you can be assured we should & will do that. They have nukes.. Big ones..
