There is new hope for democracy in Pakistan.

[4. January 2007] When Benazir Bhutto was killed

in an attack in Pakistan 27. December, we wrote

the account of a notified murder. Like recently

returned opposition leader and the protagonist

in the election campaign where she challenged the president

Pervez Musharraf, she was for the world's people

in person a searchlight on the condition of

Pakistan's democracy. Bhutto fearlessly went out in demonstrations

even though she knew her life was

threatened, and she used every opportunity in front of the camera

to criticize Musharraf's rule. Through

her world took part in the discussion that was to take place

lead to reform of democracy in the country as

most hyphenated Norse are associated

to. She became the symbol of new hope. But the one

the strong lady with the loose veil finally suffered

the same fate as his father, who was executed in

1979. Not surprisingly, Musharraf blames

"Terrorists", the biggest word of the day.

Bhutto is highlighted as an important advocate of democracy,

and her past as prime minister

is described in the words of myth, about

the young, beautiful, glamorous and

profiled the female leader in

a man-made system. We think

the same words to describe

Bhutto. They were notorious for rape

was removed after extensive

media campaign last year, but not

because of Bhutto. She was

even liberal, but used as

prime minister not the opportunity

to settle with the hostile women

the laws or fight

against corrupt cultural customs.

There is still reason to believe that

she, if she had been

elected president for the week to come would be

a good leader for Pakistan.

Now Pakistani Democrats must fight

Find a new guiding star. The man and the son

to Bhutto has taken over the party but will not get

same function. It holds Benazir for the time being

Bhutto himself, the position is also immortalized

through her death. democracy

in Pakistan has been given a new martyr. Maybe can

Bhutto make an equal difference after his

death, as before. We hope she will inspire Pakistanis

to find a new, exceptional leader who

can reform the country.
