Benazir Bhutto went back to Pakistan, and sure enough, someone tried to kill her with a suicide bomb. They missed her, but killed dozens of innocent bystanders. Muslims seem to like to kill other Muslims. I haven't heard that any group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it was probably al-Quada or the Taliban. Bhutto went to school in the US, and appears to actually be for democracy. That guarantees she will have a lot of enemies in the Muslim world. When she led Pakistan before, she had a sort of Hillary problem with her husband. In his case he stole everything he could get his hands on. It will be interesting to see if Bhutto and Musharaf can work out an agreement. Bhutto will probably take more action against the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Northwestern Pakistan, assuming they don't manage to kill her. The Pakistan secret service has a lot Taliban supporters that will need to be purged if Bhutto is to survive. It is necessary to kill a lot of people before they kill you to govern a Middle Eastern state, something that Jimmy Carter and other Democrats seem never to have understood.
