Anyone shocked by this is not too smart.
How can she be shocked? She was in Pakistan with her in Oct.
Thats when the first attempt took place.
No one is surprised. Sad of course.
Even Musharraf knows better to go out to public
rallies, popping his head out of moonroof vehicles
to wave.
Makes no sense as to why she kept courting death.
Agreed 100%! Given the history of that country and the fate of its leaders -- of which only two or so did not die "unexpectedly", shall we say? -- why should this woman be shocked? Dollars to donuts says that anyone who knows the history of Pakistan, India,et. al. sure wasn't. What would have been shocking is if Bhutto had died of old age in her sleep.
Yep. It was just a matter of time.
Well, as in most things people say in real life, I don’t think she means it she was shocked like that.
I mean, we are all “in shock” when our parents die when they get old and sick, that doesn’t mean we weren’t surprised they will die.
Yeah, everyone knows, not surprised, that Bhutto would be killed. That doesn’t mean we can’t say, quite accurately, we were “in shock” by it.

She was simply brave enough to do her duty and to hell with the consequences for herself. It never ceases to amaze me what cowards sheltered people think we all ought to be.Excellent point. There are still heroes in this world
Your attempt to equate bravery on a battlefield in the line of fire and a politician is dubious at best.
She should have evailed herself of simple security precautions such as hmmm, oh i don`t know,
BULLET PROOF GLASS maybe, LCD stadium screens for speeches, her own security forces(concentric rings of them ala the Secret Service), et,etc.
She had a death wish.
And you are a cruel little man.
And you are a cruel littlemanCanadian.
The facts are cruel. A person plays whack-a-mole and with they themselves playing the part of the mole and amazingly, gets whacked.
Standing in a sun roof with zero protection and killers
eyeballing her feet away !!!???
Stupid stupid stupid.
Bhutto asked for far more security from the army than she got - but she was not going to let the amount of it available or the threats from fundamentalist goons dictate her behavior. No one should. The terrorists deserve defiance, and nothing they can do can defeat *brave* righteous men. Their methods only have any effect at all, on *cowards*. The rest of us simply defy them the more, the worse their actions become.
You seem you view incidents thru emotions, we view them analytically.
” In analyzing today’s assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, Israeli security officials here questioned the competence of her security detail and state-provided protection.
The security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they noticed a trend from news footage in which officers and guards protecting Bhutto and her convoy routinely would allow civilians to approach the opposition leader, including many times at unsecured events and rallies.
“Bhutto should have had maximum protection given the large volume of serious threats against her life,” said one security official. “It’s gross negligence, to say the least, the way her security was provided.”
