yeah from talking to my mom I got the sense that things are mad chaotic right now.....She said ppl were looting, burning stuff on the streets but I haven't been back in 6 years and if something happens to my grandma I will regret it for my entire life. Maybe I'll go in two weeks or so hopefully things will settle down!!

Yeah trust me I was in Pakistan when Zia Ul Haq was assasinated and that was in a plane. People were going mental in the rural areas scary stuff! We pretty much stayed in safe areas through out our trip.

My mother just ran into the apartment on the verge of tears, because she was stuck on Shahr-e-Faisal in a traffic Jam for so long that her car ran out of petrol. There was chaos all over the place as mobs are burning buses and cars and there is firing going on all over the city. She left her car in the middle of the road and ran home because she was not too far, and we are now hoping it survives the evening and we are able to retrieve it tomorrow. There are cars being burnt outside saras, as well in several other locations. People are running around like ants on the roads. On a larger scale, the city of Larkhana where Bhutto was born has been burnt to the ground.

RIP Benazir.
This is not a sad day just for Pakistan, this is a sad day for the entire human race. We lost an exceptional person.

definately a said day in the political world. reform minded individuals such as bhutto are fairly hard to come across these days. the same thing happened in the sudan a couple years back when John Garang supposedly crashed in a ugandan helicopter. a sad day in pakistan and the stuggle for democracy continues...

Every coin has two different sides.....Just Check out whose on # 2 on this list:-
I find it particularly sad that with acts like these, the terrorists have won another battle.
Without Bhutto, there just can't be any upcoming election now. She WAS the party.
We should all take a stand against extremism. Extremism of ANY kind. The hard part is... how? How do you deal with an ideology that only speaks violence, when one's values prohibit the use of it, even against it?
