It is highly regrettable that a very charismatic political figure was done to death by the bullets of extremists. Its a shame for the nation which has bred extremism albeit candidly against India. In one way Mrs. Bhutto was to be blamed for the tragedy. She was first welcomed with a suicide attack, in which she escaped but 140 people died. That was a warning bell but then like all other leaders she too played it down such threats thinking that such attacks will never be repeated against her. She took things for granted and she even declared minutes before her death she was ready to sacrifice her life for the sake of democracy and Pakistan.Like homing pigeons, the words took the shape of reality and minutes later she was killed. It is therefore advisable to be positive and utter good things in life. President Mush cannot be blamed for the tragedy but for the security lapses. He was so sincere that he met her in Dubai, struck a deal with her and Sheriff and permitted them to return to Pakistan to restore democracy. But these leaders instead of appreciating his gestures, indulged in mudslinging against him only to sway voters on their side. Fate willed otherwise and a most charismatic figure of Asia had to leave the scene. It was totally unfortunate for the whole of Asia and world. In the fitness of things, it is now upto all the political parties to identify the grey area in the whole sordid game of extremism, strike at the very root of such groups mercilessly to curb bloodshed
