Hi

What was your reaction to know about the Benazir Bhutto's murder if there was any?

I was shocked and saddened. Benazir Bhutto was a classy lady and a woman of great courage.

Apparently, there are some cowardly criminals who felt extremely threatened by her and by the fact that she had a lot of supporters.

Right that is. Politicians in many countries live a life as hazardous as rock stars (for different reasons though).

Strangely enough, my first thought was humorous. I thought, "Oh, no! Now I'll NEVER marry her!" (Tom, you and I have discussed our youthful fascination with Hedy Lamar, but I didn't tell you I had a similar fascination with Benazir Bhutto when I was younger.)

Then I was disgusted by the savagery of some of the people walking the earth. The horror of the whole situation really hit me hard when I read this:

Quote:
The next to last assassination attempt on Benazir Bhutto came on Dec. 13, when a man in the crowd got the former prime minister's attention. He was holding a 1-year-old baby -- Bhutto said later she thought it was a girl -- and tried to hand the child across the sea of bodies. Bhutto said, "He kept trying to hand it to people to hand to me. I'm a mother. I love babies. But the [streetlights] had already gone out and I was worried about the baby getting dropped or hurt." So she turned away and ducked into her armored vehicle. Just then, the baby's body, rigged with explosives, detonated.

I think you have, Jamie.

Tom, you and I have talked about our youthful crushes on Heddy Lamar, and I hope you're sitting down when I tell you this. When I was younger (or more accurately, when she was younger) I had a very bad crush on Benezir Bhutto!

Her English, from what I've heard of it, is nearly perfect. She has that Pakistani accent, but a Hindi or Urdu accent is considered one of the ordinary accents of near-native English, as long as it's not too thick
