How long do you think the news surrounding Bhutto's death will last? Do you think any sort of justice will be done? Even if Musharraf didn't order the murder, don't you at least think he is 90% to blame since he prevented her from having adequate security?
Drop some stars if you think this will be brushed to the side, and no one will be brought to justice for this.

What support do you have that Musharraf actually prevented her from having adequate security?
Benazir Bhutto's death poses a threat to the survival of Musharraf. Remember Musharraf needs the support of her party to build the coalition that he needs to run the country.
I doubt very much that Musharraf would have wanted her to be killed.
If Musharraf had felt that she was a problem all he had to do is permit an old Pakistani arrest warant against her for corruption to be exercised. That would have put her in jail and would have prevented her from holding office.
The Taliban, Al Qaida, the tribal warlords and the other Muslim extremists all wanted her killed because she was determined to stamp out their influence in Pakistan.

The comparison between Musharraf and Saddam Hussein is not valid. The general may not be a shining example of a democratic leader, but he is not a blood-soaked tyrant responsible for the deaths of thousands nor has he invaded his neighbours. In fact he has made peace with his neighbours. Sharif was a considerably worse leader of Pakistan who should be in prison, but has been deported. How many opponents of Saddam were treated like that?

Musharraf tried to protect Bhutto, by ordering her house arrest. I doubt seriously that he had anything to do with it.
Al-Qaeda has already claimed responsibility for the assassination. They don't want moderates, and they don't want women in power. Musharraf is as big an enemy of al-Qaeda as she was, because he's friendly to the U.S.
And the fact that Musharraf wants to remain in power suggests that he would want stability in his country, not the rioting he's faced with now.
Vote for Rudy!

I don't think Musharraf was responsible in any way. This was an act by Muslim extremists who hated Bhutto because she was a woman and pro-west.

The business with Musharraf seems awfully suspicious. I hope and pray that he didn't feel such low self esteem, that he ordered this fine, brilliant lady to be murdered.

No. She was complaining about "inadequate security" for quite awhile.
So she knowingly went out to campaign with inadequate security....not exactly anyone's fault but her own.
I blame the suicide bomber and his financiers. 'no one will be brought to justice' the guy who commited the act that ultimately cost her life is dead.
Not everything can be neatly solved and put away like a story book.
She was a politician, the daughter of a politician. The whole "fearful of Musharaf" and the blaming of him is strictly a political move for her party.
Not to mention, if you actually read the news Musharaf compound/home/city has been bombed a lot recently from suicide attacks......they want him dead too. Al-Qaida, the taliban, what ever the extremeist group is, do not want open and fair elections. They want things to do be done solely how they view it should be.....
I dont understand how intelligent people fall for this.

I don't think Musharraf had anything to do with her murder but I don't think he went out of his way to prevent it either.

It's entirely possible that Musharraf is up to his neck in this. But we will never know. If that is true, it will be kept quiet for many reasons.

Its so obvious its Musharraf because hes been holding back elections and declaring martial law in Pakistan...According to Wolf Blitzer on CNN she feared her life when it came to Musharraf.

Absolutely. And if you'll note, the bush administration is already rushing to defend Musharaf. Pathetic.
But don't count on Musharaf not being brought to justice. The Pakistani people are very angry--and they are not going to be fooled by Musharaf and Bush propaganda that tries topin all the blame on al-Qaida. Which is ridiculous in any case--Musharaf has been giving the terrorists sanctuary, not fighting them.
