Bhutto

I am deeply impressed by Francois Gautier's eye opening article. Even though I knew of the 1000 year war cry that Benazir gave in the late 80's to her terrorists in Pakistan and spewed venom against India, I had believed that she has had a change of heart after staying for 6-8 years in exile in Britain and I thought that perhaps after experiencing and living in a democratic and free society as in the west, her eyes would have opened for democracy and closed for the distorted view of Islam as perpetrated by the terrorists. I had felt sad at the brutal way in which she was killed only because I had such changed impressions and also I saw on TV ordinary citizens of Pakistan losing their limbs and getting killed because of the brutal terrorist attack, as any human being the world over would feel against such acts. But it is indeed an eye opener to know that Bhutto actually never changed. While in India, she would ask the Advanis and Man-Mohans and Gujrals to visit their relatives again in Pakistan, but once on her soil, she would restart her agenda and all this merely aimed at getting her own foothold firm on her country's saddle and making a fortune by way of looting her country's resources. As rightly said by Francois, Zardari was called 10 percent because he commanded 10 percent as commission out of any deal done by Benazir whether with respect of buying F16's from the US or buying some armoured vehicles etc. It now appears to me that her killing and death was indeed a godsend
