Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was killed in an attack after a rally in the city of Rawalpindi (…)

In situations like these, we ought to remember the wise words of Winston Churchill: “Democracy is the worst system of government, apart from all the others”.

    I am wondering why always people who fight for democracy and freedom are the one to be assassinated and tortured while all the dictators like Pervez Musharaf and Mubarak and all the others are having long safe lives!!!!

    I’m glad you girls talked about Benazir Bhutto right away. I was in the plane when it happened, just hoping one of you would write about her on the blog.
    Good work :)
