Claeren.
Actually, by most accounts, Bhutto and her family were exceedingly corrupt and not exactly a shining example of the triumph of human spirit.

On most other days, certainly in earlier years, this event might have been viewed as "good riddance."

Today though, it's probably too bad considering the alternatives.

The three oldest professions, prostitution, organized crime and corruption in government, are better alternatives to religious fanaticism.
