Tough Day

ASSASINATION!  what a word.  One word can evoke such a deep and profound feeling without even reading any further.  Today with the untimely death of a great leader, Bhutto, not just Pakistan, but the world has lost a voice of the people.  Take away all the riff raff allegations of corruption and such, her re-introduction into the nasty world of politics in Pakistan was welcome and needed.  Today we lost a person who was capable and wanting to bring peace and democracy to an already not so stable region of the world.  With her death, dies the hope and promise of sure change, and we are left with uncertainty and 'bull headed' politics where anything important and necessary will not happen rapidly.

It is sad that people, those who every one refers to as extreme radicalists/terrorists, are scared of change and progress.  I say, if you're so fearful that what you want won't happen, then turn those guns and bombs on yourselves and save the world the trouble of having to hunt you down and kill you.  Just do it yourself.  Look at it this way: if you're dead, you won't have to face all the "wrongs" you feel are taking place, and you'll think of yourself as a matyr who died for a cause and are now enthralled with your virgins in utopia.
