i find it hard to believe you that you find it hard to believe i didn;t read her obituary. not sure it is required, as an obituary is a piece of creative writing written by someone about their idea of someone else when they pop their clogs.

all murder is evil. but that aside, she was just another politician. she was charismatic but she wasn;t an angel.
inspirational? hardly… corruption and dynastic politics everywhere. same old crap, pretty face on it.
diana syndrome.

===========================

There was some corruption, but it’s never been clear that Benazir herself was involved and not many political dynasties are founded on the execution of a parent.

I find it difficult to believe that Craig has actually read her obituary; dismissing her as a pretty face is about as uninformed as it is possible to get…

Truth is - Musharraf is alive and it’s business as usual (give or take a few riots).

‘Gordon Brown And The Taliban: “Spies from Britain’s MI6 are thought to have held at least six meetings with key Taliban figures in order to negotiate a peace deal in Afghanistan’s south-eastern Helmand province. The revelations are an embarrassment to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who just a fortnight ago denied in the British Parliament any such talks were taking place”

In fairness to Gordon Brown it’s worth noting this extract from the Guardian’s obituary:

‘Controversy has also focused on the exact role the Bhutto government played in the formation and success of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan, which formed in 1994 and took Kabul in 1996 a few days after the dismissal of Bhutto’s second administration. Bhutto maintained that no military or logistic assistance was offered to the movement, though there was continual ‘political engagement’.

This, she said in one of her last interviews, was ‘logical and reasonable’ as it was important to try and moderate the movement and use it to stabilise Afghanistan, to allow commercial ties between Pakistan, its neighbour and central Asian states to grow.’

I assume that Gordon Brown would contend also that it is ‘logical and reasonable’ to try and negotiate a peace settlement…

thank you for bothering to read this and for commenting - the more comments on this site, the more Anorakers read it. Her assassination is as important as Martin Luther King’s, except Pakistan doesn’t have a president who will complain about her death.
