I find it odd that nobody has bothered to make a post regarding the death of this dynamic woman and the powerful force she was in Pakistani politics.Benahzir followed in her fathers footsteps and was a woman unlike most of those found in the Islamic world. She was an outspoken leader for change in the Islamic world and her presence will be sorely missed.

not the poster child for many of the dogmatic leaders of Islam

No. And very stunning for 54.

She was another example of how broken the middle east is. Someone with ideas to further their country and she gets snuffed. Kind of shows how they deal over there. Now her whole family has been eliminated.

I don't understand why her 19 year old son is now the heir apparent.

Apparently not everyone thought she was (or at least had been) a force for change. I read this commentary the other day...QUOTE
"She never realized her potential," a woman from Karachi tells me. "And not because she was killed but because when she had the chance, she did not effectively challenge the backward mindset that has now led to her demise."
For example, during Bhutto's time in office, Pakistan didn't defy the anti-female rape and adultery laws. Those notorious ordinances, known as Hudood, took their inspiration from tribal politics masquerading as Islam.

That's not to say that if she had gained office again (15 years later), she might have done more.
I'd have to review a little history, but I wonder if Indira Ghandi and Bhutto were both victims to some degree of those who preferred male-dominated politics and society?
Having said that, I agree, she was the hottest thing going in a burka.

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Funny...With the rash of suicide bombings over the past 5 years, I can see why they need to advertise. They probably see it as a public service.
...oh crap...now I'm starting to sound like 3T when he paints all christians in the same light...
