Benjamin Disraeli said: 'Assassination never changed the history of the world.'
But it seems to me that even in the nineteenth century this was hard to believe. (Khartoum is still working out the curse it inherited when the Mahdi murdered General Gordon).
I think Pakistan has probably been under a self-inflicted curse since the murder of Z A Bhutto. A curse which is probably even worse since yesterday.

Well in a way I think he was right. The assassins have stayed in power for the moment, buy a martyr is always more powerful and I think that in the end democracy will triumph in Pakistan. I hope and pray that it will.

Um, what about WW1? It changed the history of the world quite a bit and was started by the assassination of an archduke. And I bet JFK's and John Lennon's assassinations changed a lot of personal histories therefore changing the world.

Just like the story its a wonderful life we really don't understand the impact of how one person can make such a difference in the whole world's outcome.So when any catastrophe happens the only way we as human beings can understand it is to say there is a reason for everything.

We need to step out of the war, because it is a civil war not just a battle between country. Things will continue to get much worse, and it will be many years for there ever to be a drop in violence.

of course he was right. you cannot change the history, it has already happened, it is in the past, and cannot be changed. Now the future is uncertain, who knows how what we do today may change it, but rest assured there are things in the future that will happen according to God's will.

King Philip of Macedonia's death rather spoils that whole idea.
