I was in shock the first day, i cried the second day, but today the third day I am disgusted & in a sense relieved that she is gone.

The will of her is the stinking fart which just brought me to realize that all her life she thought of the Paki Awam as her Jaidad, which her son and should inherit.

WTF. Is this the democracy she preached. It was another thing if the CEC of PPP met and decided that due to the sympathy & current environment we will give bilawal a position in party to win the election. But her writing that in a will is a shamefull sin.

BB may have died a couple of days ago, but I will always remember this as the day demorcracy was murdered by the one who took the oath to protect it. SHAME.

And also SHAME on everyone who still want to be affiliated with PPP.

Wow! For the first time Fuzair is partially right about something.

“It is emblematic of how low the professional competence of the Pakistani establishment has fallen that this clown was an Ambassador. He is as bad as any retired General given a sinecure and a retirement holiday in a foreign country at the nation's expense.”

I agree a 100% with him here. The diplomat’s qualification and ability to understand the issue is clearly questionable.

” Musharraf and his Chaudhuries are destroying the country to suit their personal agendas”

I disagree and would replace Musharaf with Army. So it should read as “the Army and Chaudhries and many other politicians are destroying the country”.

The army is responsible for what is happening in the country now and the Army cannot extract itself from this murder. The army is culpable and must show that its hands are clean by agreeing to an international inquiry and opening its papers and allowing its agencies to testify in the inquiry!

"PML-N decides to take part in polls

Updated at Sunday, December 30, 2007 2040 PST

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) has decided to take part in the elections, which will be held on January 8."(Jung News)

Now this is exactly the right way and the civilized way to avenge the murder of your sister, Nawaz sahib -- hold Amin Fahim and Aitzaz Ahsan hands -- raise your combined fists -- against the real perpetrators of Benazir's assassination -- and give them hell!

Congratulations on your right decision.

# 4, your tirade on the author is childish and unbecoming. The gentleman is a retired career diplomat (I assume from a competitive CSS exam). Judging from his Chowk page, he was never a political appointee (on his Chowk page it says that he served in various countries for 35 years).

In fact, incompetent generals are presently usurping the posts of career diplomats at a scale hitherto unknown.

"And why wasn’t BB’s body post-mortem not carried out?" It wasn't; so you must be happy. Oh, do you mean "And why wasn’t BB’s body post-mortem carried out?" Probably because the PPP followers would have rioted even more if the govt had said that we aren't going to release her body for another few days and we are going to cut her up to see exactly what killed her.

It is emblematic of how low the professional competence of the Pakistani establishment has fallen that this clown was an Ambassador. He is as bad as any retired General given a sinecure and a retirement holiday in a foreign country at the nation's expense.

I agree with the basis argument that Musharraf and his Chaudhuries are destroying the country to suit their personal agendas but, given BB's and NS's track record, why does anyone think 'democracy' would be a good idea for Pakistan? Why isn't any of the myriad of Pakistan-well-wishers out here on Chowk calling for 'rule of law' in Pakistan. Oh, yes, 'rule of law' would automatically disqualify BB, NS, PM, the Chaudhuries and 99% of Pakistani politicians. I'd probably vote for Aitzaz Ahsan but the man is going nowhere.

Who Killed Her?



1. In the words of manto : "Racist, fascist freak gandhi killed her"

2. The jihadis the paki state(including benazir, when she was PM) nurtured.

"But the Musharraf regime has already been as conspicuously lacking in grace in dealing with the aftermath of BB as it was in its treatment of her in life."(author)

Exactly -- the responsibility for Benazir murder squarely sits on Musharraf's shoulders. Mehsud my foot.

good analysis.she was more popular than liaquat.liaquat was elected from a seat surrendered by bengalis like ghulam mohammad , however she was twice elected prime minister and that too on direct adult franchise.
