it was a great loss. i have no words.
10 Usman // Jan 3, 2008 at 10:00 am
I guess Ii have found a contradiction in these pictures …
In the 1st 2 pics, the man in sunglasses is wearing a black coat/jacket (having black sleeves),
but in the next two pictures hez is wearing a black sleeveless jacket/coat…
This is my interpretation of the above 4 pics,
Did anyone noticed, or i am just too confused on this?

22 Tanvir // Jan 11, 2008 at 6:10 pm
It is impossible in such a big crowd not to grab the hand holding gun and prevent this incident. I believe this is a digital fabrication. If shots are fired, they must be fired from distance and away from the crowd.
Yes, she was beautiful but with ugly mind. In Pakistan all Governer Generals, Presidents and Prime Ministers used to be wealthy, white complexion, fluent in english because we are all mentally slave people. In India all their leaders are from middle class (except Nehroo), below ordinary features, dark complexion and simple clothing and very poor in spoken english. Why!!! because they are not menal slaves. In Pakistan we should start praising merit even a person is poor in spoken english or comes from Saman-Abad Lahore or F.B.Area in Karachi

Hey nit wits~~~ drink a potion which can shake your brains & fill your empty skulls with some day light.
The Evil one from the most corrupted family, did not relate to you guys. She did not even share your language to say the least~ she was all about POWER , GREEED & MONEY & nowww her crook of a husband is sitting in her chair. Read the views of the people who were her close FRIENDS & to whom she related & among whom she was most comfy!!!

The Bhutto I knew was no hero.
David Warren
The Ottawa Citizen
Wednesday, January 02, 2008
The queen is dead, long live the king. This is the message from Pakistan’s ‘People’s Party,’ founded 40 years ago by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto as the machine to advance his own political career. At his death by judicial murder, the machine was inherited by his daughter — with competition from his sons until both had died mysteriously. And at Benazir Bhutto’s death, it is now inherited by her 19-year-old son, Bilawal, under the guardianship of his corrupt father. The many prize idiots in the western media who presented Ms. Bhutto as a beacon of democracy are now perhaps beginning to grasp what path she was lighting. The creed of the PPP — ‘Islam is our faith, democracy is our politics, socialism is our economy, all power to the people’ — consists of three calculated lies followed by a howler. A more honest creed might be, ‘Government of the Bhutto, by the Bhutto, and for the Bhutto.’
By the accident of holiday schedules, I was relieved of the burden of writing about the assassination for the next day. Happily (a relative
term), because, as we say in Latin, De mortuis, nihil nisi bonum. Of the dead, speak nothing but good. But now, a few days have passed.
Those who thought Ms. Bhutto was the agent of democracy and progress, because she was young and a woman and told them in fluent English exactly what they wanted to hear, should know that she, like every other woman who has risen to power in the region, including a prime minister of India, two in Bangladesh, and now two in Sri Lanka — inherited dynasties founded by powerful men. The (murderous) ‘Good Queen Bess’ did not rise to the throne in 1558 on a wave of democracy and feminism in late mediaeval England. She rose as the daughter of the (murderous) Henry VIII. It is the failure to grasp such simple facts that makes so much western journalism ridiculous.
I have been reading much rubbish in celebration of Ms. Bhutto’s life. A number of my fellow pundits have further provided personal memoirs: it seems dozens of them were her next door neighbour when she was studying at Harvard or Oxford or both.
She was my exact contemporary, and I met her as a child in Pakistan, so let me jump on this bandwagon. I remember her at age eight, arriving in a Mercedes-Benz with daddy’s driver, and whisking me off for a ride in the private airplane of then-president Ayub Khan (Bhutto phre was the rising star in his cabinet). This girl was the most spoiled brat I ever met. I met her again in London, when she was studying at Oxford. She was the same, only now the 22-year-old version, and too gorgeous for anybody’s good. One of my memories is a glimpse inside a two-door fridge: one door entirely filled with packages of chocolate rum balls from Harrod’s. Benazir was crashing, in West Kensington, with another girl I knew in passing — the daughter of a former prime minister of Iraq. They were having a party.
It would be hard to imagine two girls, of any cultural background, so glibly hedonistic.
After her father’s ‘martyrdom’ Bhutto became, from all reports, much more serious. But I think, also, twisted — and easily twisted, as the spoiled too easily become when they are confronted with tragedy. She became pure politician. Think of it: she submitted to an arranged marriage, because she needed a husband to campaign for office. Stood by him in power only because there was no other political option when he proved even greedier than she was.
Twisted, in a nearly schizoid way. For she was entirely westernized, but also Pakistani. She thought in English, her Urdu was awkward; her ‘native’ Sindhi inadequate even for giving directions to servants. Part of her political trick, in Pakistan itself, was that she sounded uneducated in Urdu. This is as close as she got to being ‘a woman of the people.’ Brave, unquestionably brave. Which I would qualify by adding it was one facet of a willfulness not otherwise attractive. She was irresponsible to make her assassin’s job so easy, by campaigning in plain-air after what had happened in Karachi; wrong to lure so many to their own deaths around her. Faced with the actual problems of Pakistan, she twice made a disastrous prime minister. Her death obviates a third term. But the legacy creates as
large a mess. She tutored her supporters to blame President Pervez Musharraf for any harm that might come to her, so that when al-Qaeda pulled off the murder, they scored twice. In addition to killing a hated symbol of westernization, they set the mobs not against themselves, but against Mr. Musharraf. As I have argued before in these columns, for all his visible faults, Mr. Musharraf has been dealing to the limit of his abilities and opportunities with the actual problems of Pakistan.

did you know that David Warren was a member of the committe constituted during the second gulf war to give the US war on iraq and its so called war on terror a propaganda cover. The job of this group was to invent stories and cannards to make Saddam look like an evil monster and to create such other evil monsters to manage public support for the US policy. Why do all these stories come from the USA and Britain and not from China, India, Iran or Syria or other parts of Europe.
If Musharaf new her plans to get herself killed by Al-Qaida and blame Musharaf why was she not given full protection by Musharaf and USA
44 Salmi // Feb 24, 2008 at 5:55 pm
There you prove my point ~~~hooorrraaay~ because she didNOT LIVE in CHINA, IRAN, SYRIA, other parts of EUROPE{ but she has law suits against her in other parts of Europe} OR India. She grew up, studied, partied & DID all sorts of “FUN ACTIVITIES” {go on YouTube } & you will find the proofs in pictures} faaaaarrr removed from Islamic Teachings & Pakistani Values!
What amazes me is how can sooo many people be DUPED ~ why would they BURYtheir heads in the sand or under water & even stop breathing to WORSHIP an EVIL IDOL!
Bush twisted; both her’s & Mush’s{I’m no admirer of this thug either~~~O by the by he DID provide max security for her ~WHY would she NOT comply with the security rules~~~ why did Mush give ALL the concessions to her & not to the other politicians~why, why, why? I know the answer & I’m sure every one else does tooo}; arms to collaborate with each other & if you even had a speck for a brain ~I wouldn’t have to write ALLL this for you ~~~BUT heyyy even if I educate 1 person then Allah accepted my efforts & they paid off!
May Allah protect Pakistan from allll these PIRATES & Highway ROBBERS ~ but if you want the Blood Thirsty Vampires to take care of the chicken ~~~ Shucks!!!They; THEN; WILL keep sucking your blood~~~ right from your Jugular!
P.S. And she was NO friend of the minorities either ~~~ she just used them to promote her own cancerous AGENDA!

a great and strong woman she was.v al admired her bravery and valour.not a very gud leader but no one deserves to be martyred like this.
musharaf and his culprits(the chaudhary brothers)clearly planned her assasination and unfortunately succeeded in the killing of another bhutto.
as the slogan says
HOW MANY BHUTTOS CAN U KILL? FOR EVERY HOUSE A BHUTTO WILL COME.
now v al pray for the wel fare and success of BBZ cz his shoulders carry the burden of expectations of millions of people.
