As a leader, Benazir Bhutto had her faults; as a martyr all those faults just magically fall away....
Initially I was mad at her for jeopardising herself as an example of leadership to Muslim women around the world by returning to Pakistan from the relative safety of New York and London; now I see that she has given Muslim women something more important than leadership: a symbol.
It is better to die than to live oppressed.
A really, really depressing turn of events, IMHO.
