She was a shining star, and a glimmer of hope. I am so sad that this could happen in our contemporary world. She was so beautiful and brave!

I've always looked up to her. What strength it must have taken her to lead a country in the Muslim world, and then to return knowing the risks. I was surprised she was so young (54) to have accomplished so much.

And now her nineteen year old son is going to continue on in her stead.

She will not be forgotten.

I am not surprised Bhutto wasn't snow white, but I think she still added a side to politics that was lacking in Pakistan, if that was only to allow women to know its ok to have a voice..hey even Mother Theresa got something good out of her good deeds, we're all human after all, no one does nothing completely selflessly, hey even the pope lives a deluded life LOL!

While her death was a shock and a sadness to many in the world, please lets remember the guidelines and keep the political and religious views out of this thread.

Thanks so much!

As Sabby has so beautifully said, this thread is to express grief over the loss of a well known person. This is not a thread to discuss political points of view. Please stay within guidelines.
