Bombings, civil unrest, political turmoil. These problems seem so far away and isolated to the Middle East and Asia.

However, when a political figure the magnitude of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto is assassinated, it reverberates in the West.

I’m not well-versed on global politics but to me, Bhutto = Pakistan.

I’m not blind to the fact that charges of corruption plagued her short stints of power. And, as her detractors point out, her government aided the Taliban in an effort to stabilize Afghanistan in the mid 90s.

Despite all this, her iconic status blazed in Pakistan. Her return from self-exile was seen as hope for democracy. That is what is so tragic in all of this. Give the people a choice.

Rest in peace, Ms. Bhutto.  I was truly saddened by your passing.  As the first woman leader of an Islamic nation, you were an inspiration.
