The Death of A President
Benazir Bhutto was pronounced dead at 6:16 pm Islamabad time on December 27th.I never was a supporter of hers. And I hated it when women supported her simply because she was a female too. However, no person should have suffered the way she did. Her life was painful. Waiting in jail while your father was executed, losing two brothers (possibly committing one brother's death yourself)..... that is painful. I told someone the Bhuttos are the Kennedys of our nation.
But not in the sense, that they brought a great deal of positive change to Pakistan or are people whom I admire.....but in the sense that members of their family keep getting killed.
I pray that in ten years I don't see Bhutto's three children in politics.
In the end, no one should have been murdered like she was. Even though I didn't support her because of the corruption charges against her, I was still saddened by her death. She left behind three children and a nation in mourning.
