Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto Is Assassinated

  Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is assassinated during a opposition political rally in Pakistan.  It is amazing how this women grew to power as the first female leader of a Muslim country.  She fought for the rights of children and the Democracy of her country.  She was assassinated being shot multiple times initial reports are in the neck and the chest.  Sadly the coward assassin blew himself up including many more innocent bystanders.  My initial thoughts are to say here we go with another coward killing a political leader but my country has had a history similar to this.  We lost political leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and even an attempt on Ronald Reagan.  This is nothing out of the ordinary in this guiltless world.  But the coward had to blow him self and others bystanders up. This is a sad day in Pakistani way of life.

  The question comes to mind is who did it?  The people in the street witnessing the carnage are chanting, “Killer, Killer, Musharraf,” referring to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Bhutto’s main political opponent.  Did he orchestrate this assassination attempt or was it the work of the Taliban, al Queda, or another extremest organization?

  How does this effect the political election in the USA?  Of course this will be the main issue in the upcoming weeks and who will use this as a springboard to the top of the polls?  What candidate is best prepared to deal with this complicated Muslims country issue?  We are dealing with a country with Nuclear capabilities so we need a leader that will show restraint and the ability to defuse a possible catastrophic issue.  Looking at the candidates the only one with I believe with the experience to deal with this situation in the GOP is Senator McCain.  Looking at the Democratic side of the ticket I don’t know.

  Please give me your thoughts on all these questions I would love to see what you think….
