Your opinion of candidates using the Bhutto assassination to make "points" while campaigning??

Answer 1

I think it is difficult to tell what anyone who expresses a reaction to the assassination might be thinking or trying to achieve in making a statement.

Many candidates may feel an event of this kind may be "fair game" for campaign points. It's easy to say the wrong thing.

I am not a great fan of conspiracy theories, so I'm not going there. I will wait for whatever may come out in the investigations that are bound to be made in this tragic event, which makes things more difficult in a country which already has a great deal of difficulty facing it.

I don't know how much or how sincerely the Pakistani government will investigate the murder, but I have no doubt that it will be investigated by the media if by nobody else.

Answer 2

Hard to say. I found myself making quite a few "points" today to my friends and parents about Pakistani recent history and US involvement, and I'm not running for anything! :P

Although it's unlikely as a pure motive for political candidates, sometimes people just want to talk about something, especially if raises as much indignation as this assassination. I can easily see it as both earnest expression and grandstanding at the same time.

Answer 3

your opinion of Musharaff killing Bhuto to retain dictatorship
your opinion of Taliban attacking Bhutto becuase she was a puppet of Bush
your opinion of Pakistan army fundamentalist officers killing bhutto becuase they hate democracy
your opinion of America having a role in all this to create a base for making next target Pakistan

Answer 4

It's called politics, not for the faint of heart.

Answer 5

and this is shocking to you?

New to politics I see.
