It’s rough being a populist these days.
It’spainfulto read these atheist idiots, and I don’t. I mean, what’s the foundation of their morality, Karl Marx, or Lenin? We don’t share a common denominator with them. Why be upset about this event, if you’re an atheist in a godless universe?!
This is what makes her murder such a disaster. There is at least some reason to think that she had truly changed her mind, at least on the Taliban and al-Qa'eda, and was willing to help lead a battle against them.She had, according to some reports, severed the connection with her rather questionable husband. She was attempting to make the connection between lack of democracy in Pakistan and the rise of mullah-manipulated fanaticism.
Of those preparing to contest the highly dubious upcoming elections, she was the only candidate with anything approaching a mass appeal to set against the siren calls of the fundamentalists. And, right to the end, she carried on without the fetish of "security" and with lofty disregard for her own safety.
Bhutto may have been the last chance for Pakistani democracy. You are correct about Hitchens -- he is spot on here.
How smug.
Yes. Thanks.
What I find odd about this is she provided a pattern that could be exploited to kill. It was almost like a death wish. She knew that she was on the top of a hit list and that they had the ability to send 100’s of murders at once against her.
And with this piece he is very good.
