    Bhutto has been killed

    What has become of this world? It is a shame on those that killed Benazir Bhutto. Her assasination just shows how rotten this world has become. People has become so intolerant with each other that they act like small children. Not prepared to listen to others. In Africa there is a saying "Ubuntu", which roughly means "I am because you are". We cannot live without each other. Then why kill each other if we can talk things out? Shows you that politics are a shame. Long live democracy! Long live the legacy of Bhutto!

    Benazir Bhutto

    The tragedy that is Pakistan has extinguished one of the lights that burned bright in the crushing darkness. The nightmare continues. But ideas, hopes and dreams do not succumb to bullets and bombs. They can never kill what Benazir Bhutto represents.

    benazir

    this is totally insane and unacceptable. as a leader who wants to bring unity and stability to pakistan, the reaction from some of the present or past govt. supporters whoever they are is totally ridiculous. may her soul rest in peace as what she has been hoping to bring to pakistan.
