Bhutto's brutal death points a finger at fundamentalism, not only in Islam. America with it's practice of torture shares blame along with the Pakistani head of state. Bush with his religious bigotry and fundamentalist approach to world politics,troops ready to murder and commit shame full acts in the name of America. Bush's religious adviser Ted Haggard, darling of the evangelicals, preacher of bigotry, wound up in a sex scandal. Then his church was the object of attack by a person who had been brain washed by people seeking to change his sexuality to the fundamentalist standard. Ms. Bhutto's politics or honesty are not on trial here. Bigotry is. Islam permits violence against women as does primitive Christianity. Murder is never the way of democracy.

No room for the living. Everywhere you look you see Islamic death traps.Pakistan will suffer dearly for the Matyr.Separation of Church and State is partial solution.Relgious freedom and liberated women, will also help the cause. NON-Violence is the chant even when worshipping the dead. Peter Thankyou, Shamefull absolutely the arrogance of ignorance.Tearfully I say, Islam sees equality in death, we are all equal in death.

The sad part about the politics is that it is a corrupt system almost anywhere in the world. Would she get the same type press if she wasn't a Harvard graduate and spoke English so well? We have our own problems to deal with and before we start throwing stones at other soverign nations leaders, we need to look at our own. In my opinion, it is rare to see our own politicians speaking out against corruption in government,let alone doing anything about it.

The current "dictator" should also be assinated and out of the void of both deaths maybe a democracy will arise. It is a sad day for Pakistan and the world. The current “dictator” should

An already unstable nation, a nation with nuclear weapons(thanks to us)has become a whole lot more unstable and the people of Pakistan are becoming even further enshrouded by the duel cloak of Musharraf's military fascism and radical Islamic fundamentalism. It could also and perhaps more importantly, lead to yet another US military intervention, which of course will be seen by the east as yet another western attack on Islam.

Real democracy implies that differences of view are dealt with non-violently. When will mankind learn this simple truth?
