Bhutto assassination is a tradgedy

[Don_Joy's Prince 0]

This is not a good development.

The world's most unstable nuclear-armed nation is plunging deeper into crisis.

Yesterday's assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has thrown into disarray Pakistan's attempt to restore democracy, eliminating a leading contender for power days before a national election and highlighting the growing reach of extremists.

Ms. Bhutto, a Harvard-educated politician who enjoyed U.S. support, had been expected to do well in elections scheduled for Jan. 8, possibly becoming prime minister once again. Her death has deprived Pakistan's embattled president, Pervez Musharraf, of his strongest potential ally in the battle against the rising tide of radical Islam in this nation of more than 160 million people.

It is a shame, because she loved her country. She new she was a target, but still chose to return for the betterment of her people. I hope her supports unite with double her strenght.
