I just wanted to post how saddened I am on the death assassinationMURDER of the Pakistani leader Ms. Benazir Bhutto. She became Prime Minister while I was in high school and to have a woman lead a Muslim country in the 1980’s was something that was unheard of. She was one of the first women of the 20th century to rule a country. She was one of my role models as a young woman growing up. I was so glad to see that she wanted to bring “Democracy” back to “her people” (as she told NBC’s Ann Curry in an October interview.) I feel very sad for the Pakistani people, the people of the region and people from all over the world who are striving for justice and peace. Ms. Bhutto’s death made me think of the assassination in 1984 of another female political leader- this time from India, their Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Again, it is sickening that these leaders, who tried to fight for changes in their countries had their lives cut short.
May she rest in the peace that she never found on this earth. Amen
