I liked and respected her too, but I can't easily overlook the fact that her ill advised return had already cost the lives of 120 innocent people in October. Another 20 died today. I am not the only person to fear that more will soon follow.
Murder is always wrong, but Bhutto's demise was predictable from the day she returned.
When the very unlamented Zia Al Huq died in a suspicious plane crash a few years back, it was all swept under the carpet with indecent haste. The people, who murdered Bhutto were wrong. However, until a culture prevails, in which all murder is spurned (of the bad as well as the good), the Rajiv Ghandis and Benazir Bhuttos of this world will always be seen as legitimate targets by their opponents. That is a hard truth to speak - and it will shock and anger many. There is no such thing as a good murder.
