While the assassination of Benazir Bhutto is horrifying, I don't know if she as an individual is worth mourning. I read the Wikipedia entry on her and the charges against her, and it sounds like she and her husband were fabulously corrupt. We're talking in excess of $1 billion in criminal activities. Charges come from reputable Western nations, not just her political opponents in Pakistan. Also, she is aligned with the international socialist movement.
If I were a Pakistani given the choice of voting for Bhutto, Musharraf, or Sharif, I think I'd slit my wrist. I'm guessing Masharraf is the lesser evil, but it's a wild guess.
