Can there be any question in anyones mind as to who was behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto? Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf, is the obvious candidate. First, he suspends Pakistan's constitution and arrests everyone in his government and the press who oppose him. Once he's made sure that he cannot be kept from being re-elected, he re-instates the constitution (with changes that make sure he will stay in power). All of this under the pretense that Pakistan is in immediate danger of radicals tied to terrorist organizations.
Now, one of the main opposition leaders who oppose him has been assassinated just before their countries, "democratic" elections are about to take place. I don't know what's sadder, the fact that Pakistan is being run by a blood-thirsty dictator, or the fact that the United States government calls him our friend and steadfast ally!
