Confused Americans for Truth - Benazir Bhutto, 20 Others Murdered

by Ferdinand T Cat

Benazir Bhutto and Pervez Musharraf were political opponents, but both were friends of the United States, and both were enemies of radical Islam.

Bhutto was shot twice by a suicide bomber, who then blew himself up, killing at least 20 others at a rally for the Pakistan People's Party, to which Bhutto belongs.

If this were a TV movie, then it would turn out that Musharraf had killed Bhutto, and he used a suicide bomber in order to frame the terrorists. Some of Bhutto's supporters have already leaped to that conclusion; however, we must remember that in a TV movie, it's necessary to have a red herring so that the true villain comes as a surprise. In the real world, terrorist leaders who have threatened to kill you generally turn out to be the guilty parties, especially when the murderer uses terrorist-style tactics.

Those terrorists-- currently hiding in the mountains near the Afghan border-- are the reason a friendly Pakistan is crucial to America's foreign policy. Although Pakistan's government is experiencing a crisis, it's still a long way from the unrest levels that turned Iran and Afghanistan into terrorist states. If this incident causes a breakdown of the rule of law, the terrorists will be the big winners, no matter who ordered the killing.

Here's hoping the people of Pakistan don't let that happen.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

It's a shame that such an incident would've occurred. It now seems to be for the better that Bhutto had been out of the country all this while. She'd been so caring for her countrymen, all her life, and this is what she gets in return.

Just posted a video on her life and a few words too on my blogpage at http://my-labyrinth.blogspot.com/2007/12/benazir-bhutto-killed-by-gunmen-and.html

Hope you give it a visit.

Thanks.
