Benazir Bhutto Assassinated.


RIP, Prime Minister. To say you'll be missed is a pathetic understatement.


And to think I woke up optimistic.

So totally not a surprise, unfortunately. But a goddamn shame.

Pakistan has definitely lost its best hope for stability and I wouldn't be surprised if it's now looking at the real possibility of civil war. I wonder how the Americans will handle that scenario.

Bhutto may have been controversial, but I have no doubt she loved her country utterly or she wouldn't have come back and risked her life like that. Ever since I first heard of her years ago I've always admired her strength and sense of purpose.
