R.I.P., Benazir Bhutto

I'm not usually one to comment on international politics, but this is just sad:

"Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack. Her death threw the campaign for critical Jan. 8 parliamentary elections into chaos and stoked fears of mass protests and violence across the nuclear-armed nation, an important U.S. ally in the war on terrorism."

Now, I don't know much about this woman or her politics, but by all accounts she was a reformer and a visionary. A good person with noble goals for her country and it's people. But the radical Islamists had other ideas and, as is typical for such fanatics, their solution to people that don't agree with them is to simply kill them and be done with it. When will humanity learn that such tactics never prove who is right, only who is left? So sad...
