Scary Stuff

[intertext]

I see that Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated. I'm not terribly surprised - in some ways, I'm amazed she's lasted this long (sorry if that sounds cynical). But it's scary. It would be less so if the idiot leader of that country to the south of us could be relied on NOT to do something stupid.

Wow, but I agree that it was bound to happen--they've been killing her family since the seventies. A long time ago, Salman Rushdie wrote an excellent novel about the Bhuttos, among other things, called Shame. have you read it?

Yes, indeed.
