As she was a popular opposition leader in a country important to American interests, and with elections coming up soon, do you think there will be negative ramifications for the United States?

No. No surprises here. The radical islamists killed a women who walked around uncovered and spoke in public. She was a marked women, everyone knew it, including her. This is life in islam.

A very similar question, (can a majority Christian country be ruled as a democracy), could have been asked about most of Europe until the mid 20th century. The Christian religion has not changed all that much, so there must be some other factors that determine the form of government. Many political scientists believe that whether a country can be ruled as a democracy depends on political economic, cultural, and historical factors more than it does does religion. The fact that several Muslim majority countries, (Turkey, Lebanon, Iran and Indonesia) are democracies also disproves the assertion. And, 4 to 6 million Muslim Americas obviously do not see their religion as incompatible with democracy.

Bad news for the U.S. and the rest of the world. I saw this one coming a mile away though. There was no way that Musharraf was going to let her live. She had too much support and was way too outspoken against him. There is some scary stuff going on in the world these days.

I certainly hope not, but there very well could be. Who knows how the people of Pakistan will react to her death? For the sake of not only the US but of the world, let us pray that thier reaction is not violent. If it is, there could be some very "negative ramifications" indeed.

Her specific importance to American interests are not as important as the stability of Pakistan itself. It's not good news for anyone if the leadership in Pakistan loses control internally.

A brave and proud woman was killed by cowardly assassins.
The direct impact on most Americans will probably be minimal, but the world as a whole has been diminished

It is. She could have been a potential ally in the U.S.-led war against terror, had she lived and won the upcoming general election in January 2008.

Yup she was like USA sponsered man. It was her fault that she agreed with the US.
USA is dying at the moment. Wonder if we can find a cure before its too late?

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, Mr. Normal, it tolls for thee and me.
Musharaf's a thief and liar; now add murderer.
Peace
