There's no force on the face of the planet more destructive than religion.

I disagree. I think I'd say the destruction is caused by hatred, or by greed for power. Hatred and greed can take many disguises, and religion seems to be a particularly effective disguise. Those who really are religious, see violence in the name of religion as blasphemy.

At one time, I was very impressed by Benazhir Bhutto, and I saw her as a long-awaited hope for a war-torn nation. I lost faith in her once she came to power, because she seemed to play the same power games all the other politicians played. Was she just another power broker, or was she the victim of bad press? I don't know.
