Benazir Bhutto is no hero nor Democrat, nor salvation for Pakistan. She has been kicked out of two governments already for corruption. The main charges have been presented by the Swiss government (money laundering) and by Poland (bribes in a tractor deal).
Other documented corruption cases were related to shady deals with France (bribes in a fighter plane deal) and the Middle East (gold smuggling). Interestingly, she only came out of exile recently and was a guest at the White House in January 2007.
After the Red Mosque massacre, in Pakistan, the world media made her a contender for a power sharing government to “humanize” the dictatorship of Musharraf! Nice plot guys, but in a typical self serving and long term thinking middle Eastern way, she has out-played her handlers in D.C and the scheme just blew up in America’s face with Lady “10%” (actually the nickname of her husband) now seeking full power, backed up by Islamists parties (also self serving long term thinkers) that usually place women between the dog and the pig in their society.
We feared Iran and its future nukes? Just wait for the collapse of Pakistan!
