She is a Martyr. To quote one of the talking heads from this morning's Fox broadcast - "I'm amazed it took this long". FWIW - I wouldn't cast stones at Musharaf. He might not have done everything humanly possible to protect her, but he had no motive to kill her and lots of practical/pragmatic reasons for leaving her alone. He's an astute politician, he knew/knows what will happen as a result of this. At this point he has more to lose than anybody else. Al Queda (or whoever) is the only winner; they've percipitated a situation that could easilly destroy Pakistan. I think this will probably destroy any hope of near term peace and stability. Once again, the Islamofascists have set the stage for anarchy. The Pakistani people will be the ultimate victims. Bhutto was NOT a saint, and the party she headed was more populist/socialist than practical/effective. Unfortunately history will probably never conduct an objective review of her life and the very real accomplishments she achieved/represented.
