A Dark Day for Pakistan

Benazair Bhutto's assassination represents a dark day in Pakistan. As the January election approaches, the purpose of this assassination is clear. Whoever the perpetrators are, their intention is to stop the election and Pakistan's road to democracy. In time, we may know the truth behind this, but for now, the world is watching as to what the Pakistani government will do to respond.

There is every reason to be afraid of rising internal conflicts in the country. No one would want to see an unstable Pakistan, one of the nuclear powers in this region, and we can only hope that at this time, the Pakistani people can come together and unite for the future of their country.
