Seems like a pretty foolish thing to do, but such is the nature of history.
Why is the standard Islamic reaction to anything bad always to riot, set things on fire, or blow them up? “Al-Qaeda killed Bhutto! Quick, Ahmed, let us go burn a city bus!” Huh?

If you go a few pages into the Getty Bhutto photos, you’ll find a couple of shots of Hillary! campaigning — apparently so you don’t miss the point that she’s a brave woman, too.
I wonder if the media will ever tire of being used as cheap Clinton shills.
ISI had her killed. That’s what people in PAK are saying...
Wait, was she shot or blown up????

WASHINGTON - Two U.S. lawmakers scheduled to meet Thursday with former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and President Pervez Musharraf were advised to leave the country after Bhutto's assassination.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said in a telephone interview from his Islamabad hotel room that he and Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., were to dine with Musharraf and meet later in the night with Bhutto.
reminds me of JFK just before he was assassinated.
One mistake and it’s over.
Carroll Quigley, in the course of his examination of the failure of most Latin American / South American nations-states, delivered an astonishing analysis of what he believed to be the root cause of these failures, in [his] first edition (1966) of his renowned Tragedy and Hope. Here, in almost an aside, he defines what he calls the "Pakistani-Peruvian axis" - a combination of Asian despotism and Arabic outlook (key word, that - outlook), both of which have their roots in Bronze Age antiquity, that pervade what Quigley calls the shattered cultures that dwell on its axis from Pakistan to the mountains of South America. This analysis makes [...] sense out the cultural train-wrecks that persist to this day from the Arabic East, through the southern Mediterranean and Spain to South America - and in corporate boardrooms in Paris, London and New York.

"sons are brought up in an atmosphere of whimsical, arbitrary personal rules where they are regarded as superior beings by their mothers and sisters and, inevitably, by their father and themselves simply on the basis of their maleness. Usually they are spoiled, undisciplined, self-indulgent and unprincipled. Their whims are commands, their urges are laws"

"As might be expected in such a society, Arabic boys grow up egocentric, self-indulgent, undisciplined, immature, and spoiled, subject to waves of emotionalism, whims, passion and pettiness."
