Benazir Bhutto Blown Away

Benazir Bhutto’s sad assassination is the continuation of blood history of political killings by terrorists, dictators and fundamentalists in that part of the world. Before Benazir, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Zulfiqar Bhutto and Majibur Rehman were prominent among many others who were killed in pursuit of ideology and political power.

The helpless Pakistanis and most south Asian people go through life in poverty and awe of sudden death at the hands of terrorists and dictators. While carnage is continued by Jihadis,Tamil Tigers, Maoists, Naxalites and hundreds of other terror groups, the western nations have been aiding and abetting it by funding dictators, harping on democracy and supplying arms.

Many will argue that democracy and economic empowerment will end this. It is like seeking better life in reincarnation or waiting for the coming of Messiah.We could start by choking the supply of arms and recognizing that democracy comes in many forms and shapes.
