Death of a Prime Minister

Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated


What to say? A person has died. A person that millions of people believed in was assassinated. What effects will this death have on the world, on the USA, on the elections that will happen within the next month or so?

Bhutto was an outspoken moderate, but she was also someone who was twice accused of corruption. I won't take a position on whether or not I think she would have solved the incredible internal difficulties within Pakistan, but her death will only make the situation that much more complicated.

The first fallout of her death will perhaps be seen in Iowa and New Hampshire. Will voters suddenly think twice about their candidate because of this recent development? If so, Barack Obama is in very serious trouble. He is regularly seen as being the "least experienced" by voters.
