RIP Benazir Bhutto

[Urban Stylin]

I just thought i would post a tribute thread to this fabulous politician, its nota political thread though as we all know political discussions are not allowed on TFS.

The sh*t will hit the fan soon.

It's irritating how she's been elevated to the status of a protector of democracy/martyr/saint.

RIP.

That is so terrible, it was all day long on the radio yesterday. It´s so shocking waht some people would do. RIP

[vikingqueen]

What else is she if not a person who was fighting for a cause, and died for that cause? (isn't that the definition of a martyr?)

She knew the risks, probably even knew she wouldn't live to see the elections, and yet she continued to press forward. That's much more than can be said for other "politicians" who purport to do the same thing. When is the last time anyone has seen Musharraf in public?

I may not have agreed with all her politics, but this is a sad day for those who hoped and prayed for stability and a democratic process in Pakistan.

it's so sad, such a waste
RIP

[cric-croc]

there are very few women in politics and these same few women get more often than not, killed and/or abused

RIP

I was sure this will happen sooner or later.

rip beautiful bhutto
terrible ending to a terrible,awful year

[Velony]

I also had a feeling that it was going to happen sooner or later. Bhutto has been warned so many times but obviously didn't really care. I really admired her for her strength and will to fight for the cause without giving attention to the consequences. I wish there were more (female) politicians like her these days.

[leyla m.]

what a terrible year!
she was one of those few people who could make a change.
i find it a shame that not enough people in her home country recognised and appreciated her.
this was sadly very well planned and i admire her courage of not accepting defeat.
RIP benazir

This is so sad. She was such a courageous lady. I real inspiration. I fear the effect this will have on Pakistan.

[MizBlue]

Rip!!

[carmen_kass]

She was in exile for years, comes back to her country and is killed within 3 months. Gross feleny aside she was going to bring hope and deomocracy to a lot of depserate people. I hope her children are doing okay. RIP. God be with her.

[Scott]

i agree leyla,one of those strongly voiced people who could have actually made a change.
i loved her. she spoke with no rhetoric. she was honest and immensely passionate.

rip

I too very much admire Benazir's courage. I'm thinking of her children especially today, but I think she has left a legacy for all of us.

Here's a picture of her I saw yesterday. I was struck by the bold makeup. She looks both serene and determined here ...

Here's more. You'll notice she seems to always be wearing color and bold makeup.
