Dunno what long-term impact anybody's death has? The only people likely to suffer are her kids and family. I didn't like Benazir, but i certainly felt sad at the way she had to go! If nothing else, the lady had tremendous guts which many of the humans populating this planet don't have. She was felled by cowards and the assassin evaded capture too, by choosing the easy way out, suicide! Classic! I certainly don't comprehend what's the primary issue here, male-domination, religion or politics. She'd have certainly won if fair elections were held. Maybe that's the issue!
