pudge's Journal: Benazir Bhutto R.I.P.

Benazir Bhutto was a politician. She wasn't perfect. But she wanted to bring more liberty and prosperity to her people, she devoted -- and knowingly sacrificed -- her life to that goal. She knew that her chosen path was quite likely to bring her death, and she walked down that path anyway.

I can only assume she believed her death, if it happened, would help bring about the change she desired, and I hope it does.

I thought it was telling

...that members of the media were asking candidates if the assassination helps their campaign.
I would have become testy at that point, replying with something about how moments like these are more for reflection than calculation.

Shame on the candidates who took the bait. Even more shame on the candidates who issued statements saying how this shows they would make the best President because of X.
