What he has failed to realize is the more he posts, the more narrow-minded he appears. The next thing he will probably want to justify is the "good" that David Duke did for women (and Americans) when he published Finders-Keepers and the other trash he publishes.

You obviously know nothing of my political or personal views. My mother is my role model for women and she is very successful and respected in her field. If you are referring to my good manners toward women such as holding the door for them, that is not viewed as sexist to me, just tradition.
Of course, the next logical progression from saying that Bhutto was a great leader who didn't do as much as she could have would be worshipping David Duke. I'm not racist or sexist and I'm not sure which of my posts would have made you assume that I am.
I hope you realize that you are making your self look like a complete idiot and that you're nothing but a form of entertainment to me, I laugh every time I read your replies to my posts.

Often it's a smokescreen.

I wonder if we will ever know who is really behind this.

In the international quagmire in that part of the world, nothing should surprise us.

Kind of like the Kennedy assassination?

Ironically because of this if the elections were held today, PPP would probably win majority with a sympathy vote.

I heard this morning that the PPP elected/appointed her 19 year old son to be their new leader, however since her son is still in college, her husband will assume the responsibilities. Wasn't her husband known for being corrupt?

Yes, he is quite corrupt but so was his wife. It's pretty standard stuff though, especially for that region. He has spent like 10 years in prison, his wife always got him out of trouble though.

It's no problem because their 19 year old college student son is the new head of the party as was pointed out above!

Right.

Is that dad I see pulling the puppet strings?

He won't take over until he finishes his degree from Oxford.

I understand your pain. She was a great woman. She studied so intensely that somehow magically she entered into prestigious universities while those who were brilliant yet without money or political clout from her country did not. She worked so hard to change things and modernize her country and really she should have had an everlasting reign to be able to show the results of such hard work. She inherited her role from her father and then the role was passed down to her son in a highly democratic fashion. She only stole millions in a country ripe with famine and was investigated by a few countries for it.

I too cry with you.

True stuff, although she was certainly a step in the right direction for her country.
