I'll admit i'm a bit ignorant of the complete political picture in Pakistan but i've heard her speak and i knew genuine compassion and intelligence when i saw it.
It's just sad how figures like this is are snuffed out for political gain.

Oh yeah, real sad. Don't fall for it!
After she and her family steal billions of dollars and from a dirt poor country for 30 years and stashes it away in Switzerland, I guess the accounts were running low so it was time to return home and get some more.
Just another corrupt "politician" .
Perhaps it is time for Dubya to 'spread some of his brand of Freedom & Democracy' to Pakistan, since it seems his plans of War with Iran have hit a brick wall.Dev0 said:

Sadness but not unexpected...
It's true that her family's past is not spotless, however it is also true she knew that her life was in danger more than once yet she persisted in her belief.
It isn't that she knew that death wasn't coming, it was perhaps her hope that her death, or even anyone's who stood for an alternative, might spark the type of change that is required in these types of governments.
Will we know what to look for in a martyr for the west?

I have always maintained that the greatest "real" threat to us is the instability in Pakistan combined with their nuclear arsenal. I have never believed the rhetoric about Iran, North Korea, and obviously Iraq, ever being a threat to us. I am not sure if sending Dubya to 'spread some of his brand of Freedom & Democracy' to Pakistan, is the solution, but something needs to be done before some radical group acquires these weapons and points them towards Canada.WoodPeckr said:Perhaps it is time for Dubya to 'spread some of his brand of Freedom & Democracy' to Pakistan, since it seems his plans of War with Iran have hit a brick wall.

It really wouldn't matter if that were true. It's a catastrofuck any way you cut it.stang said:

But still, she was a brave woman in a traditionally male dominated, muslim country. I hope things don't get too crazy, we're already neck deep in the Stan - Canada can't be saving everyone's asses!
