Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto

It didn't take long for it to be clear that Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's return to Pakistan to provide her nation with a democratic alternative to the military rule was at high risk for her personally. She wasn't a flaw-free politician (is there such a thing?) but in recent weeks, I have grown to admire Benazir Bhutto's bravery. As many have said "Freedom is not free." Now we can wait and watch to see if the price she paid will, indeed, be a step toward full democracy in Pakistan.
Here's a link to a moving tribute.
