Bhutto assassinated

[Whickerman]

What are the implications for Pakistan and the rest of the world now that Benazir Bhutto has been killed?

when was she killed??? I hadn;t heard. she was so brave though, and ultimately that has killed her, what the heck will happen there now? frightening, very sad for her country and followers, she was a very very strong and inspiring person. Don't know enough to know who her God was, but may her God go with her. : (

[weeal]

that is very sad, dread to think what will follow

I thought I'd heard on the radio earlier she was in hospital? obviously the news was incorrect.

She has now been martyred and I think Musharraf should step down. His antiquated dictatorial ideals have no place in this world.

This is just my opinion.

[meglet]

There will no doubt be protests over this and I think Musharraf will use this as an excuse to install martial law again.

Look at the news reports and you see scenes of utter chaos, just like in others countries like Iraq and India. These people are nutters - wild, and out of control. Best action now is to bring discipline, then education. And stop any more of them getting into the UK.

I think the problems in Pakistan are going to get a lot worse now,Sky News had a programme on this morning showing suicide bombers being schooled and it is terrifying

I have just been speaking to one of the girls that works for our company who is of Pakistani origin and she says her father is delighted but they do not believe she is really dead, her father has said he thinks it is a trick!!!!!!! they must not be on that side, i don't understand the politics sorry

[R1Man]

who cares, Muzzie scum killing each other? works for me, better than killing others.

[tickledtrout]

I don't either but all the reports on the tv look pretty convincing, she was shot at least twice and then a suicide bomber killed at least another 20

[dot.hawkes]

tickled trout the girl is from the Preston Branch, it's gonna be interesting there abouts today : (

[tickledtrout]

Think it may be dot, know nothing really about politics in any country but there will be a lot of unrest I am sure in this country and abroad

[bensmum]

I agree with legend to a point. It worries me that trouble in Pakistan could cause repercussions all over the world.

It'll cause all sorts of problems for Pakistan, it's neighbours and Britain etc. if the situation degenerates any further then there'll be refugees fleeing the place.
Bringing discipline was what marshall law was all about and that failed dismally, in the same way as educating them is also doomed to fail as the argument would then revolve around the curriculum (and our "liberal" values).
Asian civil wars are historically horrendous and with Pakistan having nuclear bombs it's a whole new ball game.
Muslim bashing appears to be flavour of the month at the moment but injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Bhutto was pro Western, and we need all the friends we can get in the region.
Musharaf is a busted flush and is now something akin to General Franco, he has his hands on all the levers of power but no movement, ideology or doctrine behind him. All revolutions start from the bottom and the leader who promotes the successful idea for the masses to follow may not be pro western, and into the abyss of war we may all end up.

Pakistan will now be even more chaotic. The assassination of this woman is a great loss and downfall to this country, and clearly demonstrates that there are still those in Pakistan who want to subvert reconciliation and efforts to advance democracy.

[tiggerblue10]

She was a Harvard and Oxford educated woman who wanted to bring democracy to Pakistan. Sadly many Islamic extremists see women as second class citizens and democracy as possibly being anti-Islam.
