Never give up

Benazir Bhutto

"What I really need to ask myself is: do I give up, do I let the militants determine the agenda?" - Benazir Bhutto, Oct. 2007.

...But consider the wisdom of giving one's enemies advance notice of your intentions.

It can have consequences.

She was far from perfect, but she was better than the military regime or Musharraf for that matter.

A strong woman is no match for the wingnuttery of the religious nutjobs, or in the case of Musharraf, worthless pimps.

As I have said in my comments at a few prior sites, I do not know enough about this situation to feel well informed enough to make any wide sweeping statement.

Before I do so, I'd like to understand Pakistani politics better, particularly the in-depth difference between Musharraf and Bhutto, especially in their style of governance.
