Everyone knows that she was being backed by the Americans.

Though the U.S. has installed many dictatorial & repressive regimes, I do not believe that the U.S. installed the military dictatorship of Musharraf. Thus, since that regime seems likely to have ordered the assassination, it is not the U.S.'s fault.
Further, if it was the more militant Islamics that killed her, that is also not the fault of the U.S., as the U.S. did not promote Islam in Pakistan.
The U.S. is guilty of many things, but it seems unlikely that Bhutto's death is one of them.

I'm sorry is that ALL of the candidates/former candidates in Pakistan are being backed by the US or just the ones who stand up for sovereignty?
I think it's proper that we help where we can to promote democracy and if that means helping get out the vote or whatever, great. If that's a crime, I think I'd feel comfortable wearing that guilt.
Supporting people brave enough to actually try to operate directly against the extremist militants IN THEIR OWN MIDST, are the true heroes, while it is true that we all lie upon the battlefield of terrorism, it is THEY and not the US people in the largest sense that are on the battlefront. Our soldiers are paid to be in harms way, our soldiers may serve for any number of noble or not so noble reasons, but they all chose at one time or another to serve.
In Pakistan, "choosing to serve" - even a civilian post - endangers their lives, I doubt seriously that our political leaders would be so eager or so bold in pronouncing new policies and eager to run for public office amongst the people, as Mrs. Bhutto certainly did, with Al Qaeda and rouge ISI elements, gunning for them regularly.
I may not have agreed with some of her politics but her bravery is unquestionable. Pakistan has indeed lost a patriot to their country this day, my condolences to the Pakistani people and those affected to this act of violence.

The British empire and Commonwealth is guilty for the death of Bhutto and for the mess in the Arab world. It's the mess of what's left of their empire that is the cancer upon this planet.

She had the support of those believing in democracy and love of country.
Many people from other countries supported her agenda, not just people that happen to be American.

She did everything of her own free will. In no way, shape, or form should an American be blamed for her death.

I only blame the self-centered religious fundamentalism. Religion is going to destroy every thing.

That was the first thing that crossed my mind. Funny that there is no video or pictures during the assassination.
I'm sure we'll find out in time.
