Current Events - December 2007

I have a problem with anyone saying Bhutto was a martyr. Not just because of the religious overture, but the fact she stood for so much in the face of extremists. She was the beacon of change (pardon the cliche) in a country so deeply rooted in corruption, it seems obvious, almost natural, that anyone willing to go against it would be challenged. But she was murdered. Let's not hide behind the martyrdom and say this was "suppose" to happen. If anything, she was the next step in righting a wrong that's left (almost) concrete extremist governement so deeply ingrained, the president Musharef didn't provide adequate protection. This was plain and simple murder...it wasn't religious...it was political. Al Queda was the murderer, but those who let this happen should be held accountable as well. I will stop my rant with that....what's ur opinion?

There is a lot of news about this lady and was just wondering if her killing would affect you in anyway, it doesn't effect mine in anyway. I didn't know her, she had no influence in my life at all and I will continue to enjoy myself with my friends and family this christmas time. Happy new year to you all xxx

She should knew she has many enemies. However--why did she still want to be in the public eyes? Is she a power hunger. Is she that idealist?

Thank you.

What will these stupid people achieve from rioting and killing?? I don't get it. One death is bad enough, plus the 20 others killed in the blast, the last thing Pakistan needs is even more violence and bolodshed. They are so damn pathetic, running around waving bats in the air and setting cars on fire. So stupid.

She was Muslim, pro-American, and female. She was the first female to lead a predominately Muslim country. So ... who is the extremist, the people behind her assassination to condone violence in general, suicide missions, and terrorism, or Bhutto herself? I would argue that Bhutto is the extremist, as her views have always been much more secular than mainstream Islam would allow, while the group who assassinated her is more reflective of mainstream Islam. What is your opinion?

She didn't look like she was going to make it, but it wasn't on the news. How can I find out about her condition? If she lived or died?
This happened in New Britain Connecticut

Hi I am just curious how people feel about the war in Iraq?

I was against the war at the beginning, however I always say, whether you agree or disagree, you should always support the troops who are fighting and dieing for us.

I made this video on youtube as a sort of tribute/highlight this fact.

Something doesn't seem right with this lady.

I can't understand why she would risk having her 3 yr old daughter around this creep.

What do you think?

Metodo 3, the vigilante Manuel of all detective agencies, headed by Mad Marco of a 1000 sightings, the man who guarenteed 110% that Madeleine would re-appear in Rothley just in time for Christmas, say they now have 'new leads' after receiving 'hundreds of calls' on the Premium rate vigilante Hotline. The detective agency that could not find the hay in a haystack, say they will go through the callers information with a "with a fine-tooth comb".

Would you hold your breath waiting for Metodo 3 to find something, even a flea with a fine tooth comb ?

We read that the two serial child neglectors say that they dont know why they were made MAIN SUSPECTS in the case of their missing daughter, and say the Portuguese wont tell them till they have finished their investigation. Since they have not been charged yet, that sounds about right.

Should Kate and Gerry McCann bare Police evidence for all to see BEFORE they have been charged ?

people must know that the likliehood of a fellow american killing them is much greater than a terrorist doing so. Not to say that terrorism isnt a concern, but the hundreds of billions, and thousands of lives spent trying to curb terrorism seems odd when your chances of being killed by your neighbor are much greater than some foriegn terrorist, and to a rational person stats matter.

Who is responsible for Bhutto's death? Was it the Islamists or was it George Bush and company and The Israeli Government?

I noticed people carrying around Benazir Bhutto's coffin on TV. What is being done with it, is there no formal investigation/autopsy?

It seems that the bigwigs of San Francisco are hoping to blame the victims of the tiger attack for the incident. The same officials who denied medical expenses for a zoo employee who was hurt by the same tigress last year. Seems to me the city officials are a bunch of heartless grinches.

Any thoughts on the tiger attack that took place at the San Francisco zoo? Are most zoos secure? Was the tiger teased by some of the visitors?

Now will people realize that it's not the fault of Islam but the fault of culture run fundamentalists? Benazir Bhutto did nothing against Islam that I am aware of. She had the support of much of the Pakistani people. Even in Quetta, an area that is a hiding place to many extremists, the actual people support her. Islam also does not forbid women from having leadership roles in politics. She was on a jihad fighting terrorism. She was a hero to me. She spoke her mind, she condemned the terrorists, and she also told them she wouldn't give in to their unislamic ways.

Now the people are rioting over her death. They are showing it all over the news. These people are rioting against the extremists. They have had enough of the terror and the anger is coming out in the form of riots.

Will you soften your heart long enough to think that maybe, just maybe, it's the fault of psychotic extremists and not Islam?

She died for democracy and speaking out against extremists. Would you?

Look at the link... I am so happy... but 360 in just one jail? Makes you think how many more illegal criminals are out there that havent been caught yet.

So my question is if they did this in every jail, how many do you think they'd find? And not just in California, but the whole country?
