Let me go ahead and say I always will be a staunch advocate for the sanctity of human life. Do I like the idea of assassination or murder in any shape or form my answer will always be no. Of course most people have already made the expected assertion that Bhutto’s assassination was a sort of sick futuristic destiny, and I must admit I always knew any advocate of modernity would eventually be silenced under the hand of Islam. But may the media (at least in America) please come off of it and stop using the word saintly to summarize Bhutto. She was merely a puppet of the west whose cronies in the media portray her in the light of a “savior” when she was anything but. Let me go ahead and ask a hypothetical to the former Pakistani Prime Minister
“Is it hard to be a savior to the disenfranchised of your country when you’re too busy handling the life of an aristocrat?”
There I said it I demeaned the medias attempt to lionize Bhutto portrayal as a wealthy women whose only cares were for taking care of the economically disenfranchised . During her two terms as Prime Minister she did absolutely nothing to help anyone except maybe herself while she slept soundly in her fifty million dollar mansion. It seems she could have feed a lot of hungry Pakistani mouths with her Feudal Landlord father’s monetary value and her Harvard education. While the peasants in her nation were on the edge of starvation and war, her only thought seemed to be how to obtain more weaponry to get sweet revenge for her fathers slaying.
Well I guess I can understand her lack of care for the poor of her country because she must have been well to frantic providing presidential pardoning of her husbands white collar theft from Pakistan, or maybe purchasing another $175,000 neck charm while the people behind the store are starving. When all is said and done it is just another attempt to martyr another television personality for ratings, it’s to be expected.
