[stivvy]

Sad. She had a vision and dream and hopefully someone else will pick u pthe tourch...

May the eternal love of God reach forth and receive His servant into His loving arms. May He touch the hearts of men and woman to be strengthened by such acts of violence.

Now were going to have a civil war in a nuke armed country thats

1) Has been on the verge of war with India for the last years

and

2) Is protecting Osma Bin Laden for the past 5 years.

Great.

Thank you

That's really a shame. Bhutto was the best hope for democracy in that country. Pakistan is in trouble now -- and, by extension, we're all in trouble.

We may have to go in there and secure their nuclear facilities if things start to deteriorate further in terms of civil unrest. And that's coming from a guy that's been opposed to the Iraq War from the beginning. But Pakistan is a different situation. You've got the Taliban and al-queda (The real one, not the Iraqi ripoff) in the northwestern foothills, trained by the CIA in the 1980s. The country as a whole is fairly moderate as Islamic countries go nowadays, but if these extremists, who already have a paramilitary operation, topple Mustaraff, there's no saying they couldn't impose minority rule. And I don't think I have to tell anyone what al-queda would do with a nuclear weapon -- especially if they feel they are only temporarily in power in a given place.

The ideal would have been a smooth handover from the current regime to a new regime backed by the liberal student and lawyer protesters who are in the streets. But they are without a prominent leader now, and the other two potential factions (The Islamic fundamentalists in the northwest and the military government, which is what the government there has become) have all the weapons.

May she rest in peace.

I was very sad to hear this news this morning. Benazir Bhutto represented a lot of things to me - political and otherwise. I had great hope in her.

Let us pray for her and the twenty-two innocent people who were killed along with her.

May the Lord have mercy on us all.

 

[Victrixa]

That's a shame!

Well, you know, Pakistan....

May she R.I.P.

 

[Veritas]

Tragic. Her death won't solve anything and will more than likely create more problems.

May she rest in peace.

Please, lets not get into politics here.

A therad about the assasination of a politician is no place for politics!

This seriously sucks, I really liked her.

 

[Maranatha27]

I hope she believed in Jesus Christ.

If not shes in Hades.

 

[Romans 13:3]

I hope she believed in Jesus Christ.

If not shes in Hades.

Far from an Islamic scholar, but I believe they also await the the return of Essa (Jesus). Might have a problem with the whole Mohammed (pbuh) as the last prophet thing.

As for her, I thought her husband was the money behind her party but was living in Dubai due to corruption issues in Pakistan. She also had some corruption allegations as well. Who knows what the truth is.

Isa. And muslims deny that Christ died on the cross, and all the truths that we love that He plainly set before us, they deny. Mohammeds words superseed those of Christ.

Yeah, Pakistan was a wonder place before 2001. It had nothing to do with Bush, try again.

Thank you for reinforcing my disbelief.

Take it for what its worth, I said nothing contrary to what is clearly taught in Scripture.
