Back in October immediately after things had started to settle down after the fateful day in Karachi when hundreds of Janesaran-e-Bhutto were killed in the bomb blast attack on Benazir’s reception rally, I wrote a blog post titled Thank God, Benazir Lives where I summed up my view to say.
“I suspect that if Benazir had been killed, her name would have suddenly transformed into a larger then life hero handing the country on a silver platter to the new found PPP leadership to run with unrestricted rule for a good many years. Hence my honest opinion, Thank God, Benazir Lives”
Observing the recent turn of events and watching Asif Ali Zardari straddling the PPP, I weep in despair that I stand to have been proven correct. PPP might have lost its leader, but they are the same bunch of crooks who were part of the campaign to patronize and legitimize Musharraf’s dictatorships, Lets not fool ourselves any longer.

U are right. On one hand a letter read out by international media accuses Musharraf, while PPP and it’s workers will be ready to shake hands with the same man when they come to power and we will see ourself fighting a misled war on terror (read : which creates terror) we will see orders coming from washington being followed with zest and zeal.
Right on the money. We must not forget what the PPP had done in the past, but having said that PPP was always for me the lesser evil. They are a better option than anything else out there..
Btw, great work on the pics and video of Benazir Assassination…
