Benazir Bhutto

I was having my morning coffee yesterday when I saw the news--first, that Bhutto had been injured in an attack in Rawalpindi and then, horribly, almost inevitably, that she had died. Despite what I have been told were her manifold failings (and who, after all, doesn't have them?), she represented the best chance for democracy to take root in Pakistan. I mourn her loss and pray for her country and for the world.
