No, it was not barbaric nor barbarian. It has been this way, world wide, since people began to
'civilize'.
This is not the first time; somewhere, someone wants somebody dead for a political reason or for a personal gain. An assination is to benefit a few, since those few have to agree before it is done.

What constitutes "barbarian" action? I mean, the classic meaning of 'barbarian' is "different, and therefore less civilized". Assasination, though, is a quintessentially human activity. Killing each other is one of the things we do best, no matter what our level of 'civilization'. It's more the techniques used than the action itself that seem to differ between we 'civilized' folks and those 'barbarians'.

Barbarian? No.
But a complete lack of love by a pathetically and frightened group of men and women.
The actions taken against her and her father goes beyond barbaric and into the realms of evil.
It serves no purpose, and even the original barbarians of ancient yore had more sense than that.

Every attempt to overcome problems through transference and denial is barbaric. That includes blaming Bush for the war in Iraq, when so many people vented their racism and bigotry before the cowardly congress voted for it.
Expect more rationalizations of racism and bigotry in the answers you get. Those very same people will point the finger at others.

NO.. a little disgusting yes.. i also believe it to be a very powerful political move that is and will affect us all in the coming weeks.. she was already very popular her whole family was in the light of "stirring the pot" so to speak.. they all seemed to be involved hopefully speaking out for the poor and less powerful .. thus making them all her and her family targets to be removed.. by extremist and the powers that be a like / none of the "powerful" like when they are pointed out as harmful or selfish.. for their own gains how ever it may be..
she herself knew it was only a matter of time before this happened.. but went on with it anyway .. but being barbaric well that can mean many different things to many people and cultures..
to me its all a sad state for any country and people alike.
but this is just my opinion ..

By no means would I consider it a barbaric action. It was in my oppinion a political move. She was becoming to popular with the opressed people of pakistan and some one in the army ranks ordered a hit. In my oppinion.

barbarian? I think it was inevitable, she had alot of enemies in that country and the moment she decided to return the writing was on the wall. it's awful and a step back in time but hardly unforseeable.

...I wouldn't call it that...there are many mis-guided people in that part of the world that are willing to die for their twisted beliefs...Ms. Bhutto showed them that she was also ready to die for her beliefs in democracy...we can only hope that her sacrifice may serve to strengthen those with similar beliefs and to discourage those who only bring death and destruction to the world...
