It is interesting to watch television or read the paper & internet about the latest political events. Seems like the world is not making an effort in improving the various situations it has gotten itself in. I find it awfully disturbing to know that many developing and developed nations are in political struggle.

The year 2007 was no exception in terms of bloody events. The recent murder of Pakistani Political Leader Benazir Bhutto prompted me to type this. I am no conspiracy theorist but I do not believe that her death was a last-minute plan to get rid of her. Her return to Pakistan after exile was thoroughly orchestrated by the Bush administration and Pakistani authorities (including Musharraf). Everyone following this story knew her presence in Pakistan would force changes in the political sphere of that country. Simply watching news reports one could see how much the Pakistani people want a change.

Bhutto’s death will certainly bring more chaos in the upcoming elections. It may in fact get more people to react and put more thought in what changes they want for their country. How she died will not be the main issue. Why was she killed and by whom will be the question on the minds of many. I am curious to follow the story and see the explanations the Pakistani, American and British governments will come up with. Bloody politics indeed!
