		<description>It will carry on regardless, as usual, of any kind of democratic government.

That the lady in question got murdered is something I expected: so hungry for power her sense of safety went out of the window - along with her political morals.

Bhutto was part of the problem - with her nepotistic dynastic aspiration clearly defining where her personal priorities really lay.  Her past was a little shady, indeed.  anyone who says otherwise is either mistaken or wilfully deluded.

She was like a book - reading her was easy.

I am very sorry that she was murdered and hoipe her killers are caught, and hope that her death proves at least cathartic for Pakistan, and that maybe it can change from being just another violent, politically bankrupt country.

Maybe!</description>

		<description>Before the current situation can be viewed as a turning point for the country, it is a critical juncture for the Pakistan military to define its role.  It is not clear whether the Pakistan security forces define their role as protector of the borders of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, or it sees itself as the protector of Islamic religion.

  This assassination took place in the most secure garrison city of Rawalpindi, a few miles from the homes of the Pakistan military leaders and the President of the nation who has 100% executive power.
 
  Isn't this the same military/administration that supported Taliban rule in Afghanistan.  If Taliban's interpretation of Islam is good for people of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, why is it not good for people of Islamic Republic of Pakistan?

  Pakistan army seems to be saying Taliban is good, Al Qaeda is bad; while the leaders of both these organizations are the best of friends and ready to give their life for each other.  

Are the  leaders of Pakistan army ready to lay down their life ONLY for Pakistani people, or will they give their life to protect Taliban and/or Al Qaeda?  This is a question that the people of Pakistan, the leaders of the world who are funding the war on terror, and followers of moderate Islam should be asking.</description>

		<description>Mahesh Gandhi,

I dont know if you really have had the chance to learn what exactly was the meaning of the 'Two Nations Theory'. And let me clear the fact that this theory wasnt a creation of Mr. Jinnah, it was always there in the minds of the Muslims who were treated like 'untouchables' by the Hindus, the theory was formulated by Sir Syed Khan, and then again by Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal. I remember a senior worker of the Pakistan Movement quoting he touched a Chappatti and the Hindu shopkeeper refused to sell that piece of bread, instead, threw that to a dog. I can quote many other examples, just to show the Hindu mind towards Muslims but I dont you have a lot of knowledge about the whole concept. Khalifa has made a good point by indicating the situation in India. What about so many movements going on in India? Mahatama Gandhi was murdered bya Hindu extremist if I'm not wrong? Indira Gandhi was murdered by a Sikh Guard? Why? Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by a Tamil militant? So please open your mind up a bit now, long period of 60 years gone. The fact is fact. We were a Nation, though were never allowed to prosper by the Enemies.</description>
