Few more days, it will be 2008!! It is so sad that 2007 has a sad ending.....
This morning got the news that Pakistan's politician got assassinated by suicide bomb attack in Islamabad. She was shot in the neck before her assailant blew himself up. She died later in the hospital. At least a dozen more people were also killed in the rally.
Just awhile ago, Al-Qaeda has claimed that they did the crime.
She escaped an assassination just in Oct, but she was undeterred and proceed to meet her supporters for the up and coming election in Jan 08. So sad, this time, she was unlucky.
Her father, Mr Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was Pakistan Prime Miniter from 1970 to 1977. He was striped of powers by military coup led by Gen Zia ul-Haq in 1997 and was hanged 2 years later. Her 2 brothers turned to terrorism and both were killed. She was released to London after few years imprisonment, where she re-build her father's party, Pakistan People's Party. She later became Prime Minister twice, 1988 to 1990 and 1993 to 1996.
What has happened to the world? There are so many hatred now? Religion against religion, race against race? Politicians use dirty tricks to get their vote so they can get the power. To me, i see it as some people were doing all these crimes to benefit themselves and using religion and race as cover up. It is the cheapest and effective weapon to achieve what they want.
With the current only super power in the world, namely USA, behaves selfishly, unfair handling international matters, creating more and more hatred. Plus this same super power refuses to work with the rest of the countries to solve the global warming problem, the world is getting worse!!!
I hope her dead will not create more death in Pakistan. I respect her for her courage and determination in wanting to make Pakistan a better place.
Ms Bhutto, I salute you ...
