Assasination of Mrs. Benazir Bhutto Zardari marks the depth to which subcontinents law & order has sunk to, it emphasizes the giant stature of terrorism present now.
LTTE in Lanka, Maoist in Nepal, insurgency and sepatarist movements in India and the visible terrorist infrastructure in Bangladesh are claming a lot of lives.
Most of all Pakistan has been a hotbed of Terrorism and an evident exporter of Terrorism. Pakistan instead of eradicating terrorism had been trying to distinguish between good & bad terrorism till recent past.
The main patrons of terrorists are in power in Pakistan today, and they are also under threat from this demon they helped create, nurture and now cannot contain. Pervez Musharraf himself has lived by the sword and will die by it, to predict that his end will be as brutal needs no seer or oracle, it simply remains to see how many lives will he endanger while trying to save his skin.
Benazir has been an extra-ordinary leader, an excellent orator, a woman in Islamic world who connected with the masses and came to power through the democratic process which not many men can emulate and will take a long time for a woman to emulate if Pakistan exists like what it is today.
Assasination of Benazir is not just and Assasination of a Pakistani leader, or for that matter a sub-continental leader, her assasination symbolizes the murder of democracy, her assasination is the murder of hope of million Pakistani's who want a regime apart from army. Benazir's assasination is murder of humanity.
Assasination of Benazir will create turmoil in Pakistan, all the American scriptwriters who were busy implementing their screenplay for bringing democracy find their principal actor eliminated. Western intellegence has failed, western diplomacy has been defeated and Pakistan either will fall apart or its people will unite and overthrow the military regime and rebuild Pakistan.
After the assasination of Rajiv Gandhi in India, the people unitedly rose and built a vibrant India that is today. A similar effort by people of Pakistan would be a fitting tribute to its tallest modern leader, who has been slain for their cause and aspirations.
