Tragic news event

Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto died today from a fatal gun shot wound to the neck shortly after a campaign rally. She was speaking at one of her support rallies today at 5:30 a.m. this morning eastern standard time. Several of her supporters were also killed due to an explosion , which was started by a suicide bomber. She was running for the Presidency of Pakistan, and she was the only opponent running against the current President.

The current President was afraid of her outspoken nature. She had many followers and her campaign against him proved that she was giving him a run for his money. I think that it was utterly ridiculous for the people to allow this to happen. He basically wanted to start a Monarchy again. Something just doesn't seem right about the way that Prime Minister Benazir was assassinated. It seems like this could even have been a plot to get her out of the way, since she was the only one strong enough to stand up and voice her opinion.

Unfortunately, it is well known that in Pakistan, there are very few women in power. Women are second class citizens there and are not allowed to voice there own opinions. They still have to wear the vale when they leave their homes. I noticed that you would sometimes see Benazir wearing it also at times, but I think her honoring the vale made her look strong to the rest of the world. It made the statement," yes I am a women, but I am a women who is smart, strong and well spoken, a women of power". She did a lot for her country while she was alive as the Prime Minister. It was stated by many of her supporters that she may even have won the Presidency.

I believe that the more she spoke out in public the more her life was in danger. There is no other explanation, because this was not a freak accident or her being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was actually sought out and eliminated by someone, because they viewed her as a major threat. The country also has been starting to be over run by the Taliban and Alkidah. Since this has occurred, it looks like the country is going to have a major unrest and the Pakistani army may have to try to keep the peace until things settle down more for the weeks to come. The life and efforts of Benazir Bhutto will surely be missed, hopefully some of her work will live on.
