\\\ ? /// It's incredibly difficult if not impossible, to understand what's REALLY happening in another country's political turmoil. When Bhutto first appeared on the Pakistani scene, she was this quiet, idealistic-seeming lady who said she wanted to come back to her country and share its governing powers with Musharraf. The people loved her and came out into the streets by the millions, when she held her by now infamous homecoming parade during which terrorists exploded bombs and thereby ended the celebration. So now Bhutto is back again, and her demeanor has changed considerably. She doesn't want to share anything with anyone, anymore, and she's constantly inciting and re-inciting the Pakistani population by comparing Musharraf to the Taliban, and by demanding that "her people" once again fill the streets in protest of whatever cause she can quickly find to talk about, each time she begins to use the media and whoever else will listen to her disconnected ramblings. So now I'm thinking that perhaps this Bhutto is just an empty, meaningless rabble-rouser of the Cindy Sheehan variety, i.e. someone seeking to generate hate and fantasy-revolutions, just to please her own sense of personal discontent.......and that, just like Sheehan, she has no ideals, no understanding, no knowledge, and no desire to create anything positive or life-enhancing for anyone. Encouraged by the profound divisions created by Bhutto, the Taliban now figure that having lost their cause in Afghanistan, they're better off being back again in the own beloved Pakistan, where, having returned with their hate-infested spirits, they've just detroyed another magnificent, 1300-year-old, 130-foot-high Buddha sculpture. Meantime, CNN, which a hundred times each day, declares itself "the most trusted name in news"......is doing 24-7 about the ultra-schtoopid O.J. Simpson trial that no one on earth gives a damn about.
