The Bhutto Assassination

Updated: January 3, 2008. Mr. Musharraf is "unsatisfied" with the inquiry into Benazir Bhutto's death/assassination.

Indeed, and so are we. And, where are the claimants to the assassination? We would have expected some terrorist group to make such a claim - officially and on the record - by now. But yet this has not happened. Why is that? The finger now points to the person/s we had originally thought blameworthy. Time and fate will reveal.

Yesterday, in our posting, "Where Did Those People Go? Tent City 2007/8"...we were going to ask why had there been relatively few assassinations. But, we thought it was politically incorrect. But, we are still glad we didn't make such a comment.





However, we didn't (but now we know we should have) expect the shameful and shocking assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Murder and assassination is deplorable and shameful in any form. But, we find the assassination of the former female PM of Pakistan even more so. We are deeply moved by her departure, and feel a profound loss.





We also think we know who to point to as the creator of the assassination. But, we don't need to name names. Even a fool could guess at that one.

The scary thing now, is that Pakistan does have nukes. Will we see them deployed and detonated over there? Are we looking at a couple of billion deaths as a result of this assassination? Will we see a chain reaction, and the launching and detonation of even more nukes? We shudder to think. If so, then those responsible for the death of Benazir Bhutto are likely responsible for any nuclear aggression and casualties.

Her murder should have been preventable and prevented in such a case. Now things look really bad. Those responsible must be found out and called to justice to prevent any such possible nuclear exchanges. The whole world is watching and waiting with baited breath. And so are we.
