“They” Did It Again…

Once again, people who can’t stand freedom and ideas other than their own have struck down someone to whom both those things are fundamental rights of life. Benezir Bhutto was shot down like a dog after giving a speech to followers in Pakistan, ending her chance of being elected to lead that country again and try to get it back on track.
Fingers are pointing in every direction, mostly at the current Bush-backed President Musharraf and Al Quaeda, but no one knows for sure who did this horrible thing, and we may never know. The coward who did the deed blew himself up when he was through, taking several innocent bystanders with him and sending many more to local hospitals with varying degrees of injury. With him he took the knowledge of who sent him and why, and unless the world is really lucky, it may be impossible to learn those things in any other way.
I pray for the soul of this beautiful, intelligent woman who only wanted to make the world a better place, and for the family and friends she left behind. I pray for calm, tolerance, and justice in the country she loved so much that she was willing to risk her own life for it. And I pray that God will revenge the death of this person so beloved by so many, as He is the one who knows who did this and why. God rest her soul, and give her peace.
