Bhutto Failed to Modernize Pakistan

Thanks for the article, PhiGam.

Can someone tell me how long she was in office?

I ask because there is debate regarding how quick the process of change is supposed to happen. Changle is a slow process. Having women in office who challenge the system to some degree doesn't mean that the longstanding system of inequality will end.

Thanks.

So a total of 5 years with a 3 year break in between.

Is this supposed to be enough time for substantial change?

Not in the land of religious extremists. It could take hundreds of years.

I would think the same thing... 5 years with a 3 year break is not enough time to change systems that have been put in place for several decades if not more.

Not in anyones wildest dream.

Five years is not even a blip in time when trying to effect social change.

Even if that weren't true, though, it doesn't justify assassination.

On the other hand, it is fair to understand that even all of her accomplishments do not make her bigger than life -- and it seems she was far from perfect.

Brave though.
