R.I.P Bhutto

Former two-time Pakistani prime minister Benezir Bhutto returns to her country after 8 year exile and falls victim to a suicidal bomb attack. She was 54. She was a beautiful, smart, liberal, secular and courageous woman. She could have easily chosen to live in Dubai in the upper class comfort, yet she chose to put herself in danger and returned to her country for democracy in Pakistan. It is a shame she is gone. My heart goes out to her and her people. I hope she rests in peace. I don't know much about Pakistan, but I hope the country doesn't fall apart and head for military rule.
