Benazir Bhutto Dead

[BubberMiley]

What this demonstrates is that a good share of Pakistanis enjoy living like animals.

What did the assassination of Martin Luther King demonstrate?

King was killed by one deranged redneck. In no way was it condoned by anyone. James Earl Ray drew a life sentence. I believe he died in jail.

Benizir Bhutto was almost killed two months ago, and just now was killed. There was little or no effort to ensure her safety. Worse than that, the Pakistani government has been somewhat tolerant to AQ. There is a world of difference between the US South in 1968 and Pakistan.

The usual white racist crapola - no one lives like an "animal" unless force or maniplated to do so - Whites with a stake in cheap labour killed King - certainly it was not some crazed racist - all is done for money - you know that.

What did the assassination of Martin Luther King demonstrate?

That a good share of Americans didn't like "uppity" Blacks? From 1955 to 1968, King's life was threatened by what King called "sick white brothers." I don't think the threats on his life came from just one shooter.

You honestly don't think there were those among the KKK, White Supremists, et al, who condoned his murder?

Furthermore, public lynchings of blacks used to be attended by families who even brought young children. You don't think they were condoning the murders that they were wittnessing? Did Americans "enjoy living like animals" at that time of our history?

Looks like our friend who insists that some humans like to live like animals suffers the great disconnect that we hear about - sounds as if this person was raised to believe they are above the average human being - which means to profit by harming others was condoned in the buisness that he or she or his heirs are being trained for as we speak - when a group is marginalized and dehumanized then they can be used for what ever slavery is imaginable..that is why they have an educational system installed in the states - that insists that all those that are not Americans are sub-human -which allows the empire to thrive via cruel plunder and rape - it's akin to teaching your children that humans are dogs and you can kick the ugly ones or hook them up to wagon and have them haul rice. The other day I heard of a fire in a vet's clinic - head line "One Labrador is in critical condition" - not to mention that there are dogs - with - "seperation anxiety syndrome" - that they have on Lorazipam and Prosac - at 1000 dollars a visit to the mutt doc..we are all being debased as dogs are given human rights - small wonder that this person thinks the people of Pakistan are animals... in time his turn will come and HE will be an animal - when the rights of one human being are lost - the rights of all are forfeit.

Of course they did...same as "supremacists" in Canada (no stranger to the Klan), along with some militant black folk as well.

Oh goody...a contest for most "animal-like" lifestyle. Mustn't leave out Bobby Kennedy's untimely demise at the hand of a Palestinian, or the October Crisis complete with murder, or thousands of other recorded events in history. I guess we are all living like "animals"....and Tatianna should have just stayed in her enclosure....much safer, eh?

Notwithstanding that Bhutto ws no King.....

''We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat (the) 'mujahadeen','' al-Qaida Commander and spokesman Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid told the Italian news agency Adnkronos International (AKI) in a phone call from an unknown location.

Al-Yazid was described by AKI as the ''main al-Qaida commander in Afghanistan''. It reported that the decision to kill Bhutto was made by al-Qaida No. two, Ayman al-Zawahiri in October.

The report said death squads were allegedly constituted for the mission and one cell comprising a ''Punjabi volunteer'' of the Lashkar-i-Jhangvi killed Bhutto.

Bhutto died after being shot by a suicide attacker, who later blew himself up near her armoured vehicles just after she had addressed an election rally at Rawalpindi near here.

The blast killed nearly 30 people.

King's family disagrees with you.

Oh come on, Dancer, this is a good opportunity for you to compose some character assassination on both Bhutto and King. They were both human, after all, which makes them easy pickings. He was known to have plagiarized his doctoral thesis and commit serial adultery.

You're losing your touch.

He didn't interest Ronald Reagan either who opposed Martin Luther King day until he was faced with a veto proof bill to honor the man.

True. It is irrelevant But it does show a mindset about King in the U.S.

Back on topic. Bhutto is dead and the Americans allowed it to happen. They could have insisted on proper security for her..they did not! Hypocrite would be a good word right about now. I will vomit if I hear Bush utter the word "democracy" one more time - this is the last thing these creepy little fellows in Washington want..it's just bad for buisness globally! Funny how Harper stayed quiet about the Bhutto killing untill he and his writers heard what that idot south of the borader had to say...it's all very telling - that this white trash would assist and facilitate in the murder of this fine and well bred woman who was the hope to ending terror around the world - maybe they don't want the terror thing to end?

Well, that kind of whacked logic deserves more...I think Canada is to blame for not "insisting" on proper security. Canadian Forces were closest to the scene and allowed the bombing. It's a big conspiracy from Ottawa don'tcha know!

The "hope to end terror"? Utter nonsense....she was the hope for one more round of corruption Pakistan style. Big political egos invite an even bigger demise on the sub-continent and elsewhere.

"Dorothy....you killed her! "

You are such a big baby! "conspiracy from Ottawa" - that's silly! The best conspriacy they can come up with is Malroney and they don't want to deal with even that- You must understand the word conspriacy - it literally means to be one - to breath together - Bush and that tin pot dictator military guy had no intention of allowing Bhutto to live - that's common sense - if they wanted her to live they would have done all in their power to do so - it's evident that destablization was preferable for these creeps.."Utter nonsense" - that's so poo pooish of you...a charismatic leader was and is the only hope - sounds like you were jealous of Bhutto - maybe you just don't like beautiful woman of power? Sure there would have been corruption - but we have it here also - so don't call the kettle black - Our sophisticated corruption is just better hidden than in Pakistan...a cleaner version - problem is in Canada, is that we approve of corruption if you belong to the club - I am not welcomed into the club - so naturally I do not approve - pay me and I will shut up - just like you.

People are murdered every day....including beautiful women who would be king. Deal with it instead of using her lukewarm corpse to bash President Bush.

What's wrong with being called "black"?

Bhutto is dead....but life goes on. America has better assasinations just for entertainment.

Any club that would have you as a member.....

I remember that era well. MLK was downright revered from August 1963, the Freedom March, on, among the vast majority of Americans.

Please don't educate me on how the majority of Americans feel/felt.

He (MLK) didn't interest Ronald Reagan either who opposed Martin Luther King day until he was faced with a veto proof bill to honor the man.

How about the fact that we have enough legal holidays to choke a horse, and scheduling even the legally required 181 days of school between September 1 and June 30 is a daunting task?

[capricorn]

You may be right.

Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said Bhutto had not been shot, nor had she been hit by shrapnel from the blast but she had been killed when the force of the explosion crashed her head against a lever on the sun-roof of her vehicle.

The bomber struck when Bhutto was leaving the rally and she stood up out of her bullet-proof vehicle’s sun-roof to wave to supporters just outside the venue.

I bet you dollars to donuts that the killer vehicle was made in the US.

[BubberMiley]

MLK doesn't particularly interest me.

So if you were opposed to segregation, MLK's adultery would be relevant. Because you don't care, his adultery doesn't matter. That makes sense.

NATO make take responsibility for patrolling Pakistan border.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...?hub=TopStories

Plunged into chaos after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, NATO troops may soon be working double duty in the lawless border region between Pakistsan and Afghanistan.

Until now, the 41,700-strong NATO force fighting Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan has relied heavily on Pakistan's help to control the flow of insurgents over the lawless border between the two countries.

Prolonged instability following Thursday's assassination of the former prime minister could leave NATO's already strained forces with more responsibility in the dangerous region, says a former Canadian high commissioner to Pakistan.

"If the Pakistani government is occupied with trying to stay afloat, it will be much less concerned with the Taliban and the people in the tribal areas," Louis Delvoie, a former Canadian diplomat in Pakistan, told CTV.ca.

"For Canadians operating in Kandahar province, the solution is not going to come from Pakistan."

Pakistan has been rocked with chaos since the suicide attack on the moderate-leaning Bhutto, who died along with 20 others during a campaign stop leading up to the Jan. 8 elections.

President Pervez Musharraf will now likely turn his attention to regaining political stability -- away from quelling the flow of fighters, weapons and money towards the Taliban, the Islamist group struggling to regain power after being overthrown by a U.S.-led coalition in 2001.

Worry among the troops

Currently, about 100,000 Pakistani troops patrol the border, which at 1,500 kms. is approximately as long as the divide between the United States and Mexico.

According to CTV's Murray Oliver, who is stationed with Canadian troops in Afghanistan's Kandahar province, many soldiers believe border control could simply evaporate without Pakistani assistance.

Does anyone else have that sickening feeling developing?

Sweet! Better thna a game of Risk with old school wooden pieces. General MacArthur had the same idea but Truman said no and fired him. What the hell...NATO is already in the neighborhood.

[margrace]

I'll bet Packistans president and Bush had a pretty close converstaion right after that happened. ONe more down how many to go.
