No decision was reached due to Israel’s concern about upsetting the Pakistani or Indian regimes by Hana Levi Julian (IsraelNN.com) …The first woman elected to head a Muslim state was http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2759</p><p>From a Western Voices reader: What is interesting is that Bhutto’s alleged approach to foreign intelligence would seem to confirm the contention of Pakistanis that she was a tool of foreign interests. Says another: Bhutto is almost as much of a suicide bomber as the bomber himself. She exposed herself, her followers, her aides, etc. to injury and death because she was too mulish to listen to people telling her to lay low. Even after October’s attack, when suicide bombers tried to get her at that time, she refused to heed warnings to stay out of the public limelight. She had already given her speech and could have stayed below in the Suburban. I don’t think that sort of stubborness is too desirable. How can she help her people now? If she valued herself as a leader and helper to her people she would not have exposed herself like this. Is she stupid? Did she lack the will to survive? Sort of a Darwin throwback? (Two things probably went into her rash decision to expose herself and her followers. In Pakistan, it is necessary for politicians to physically show themselves to their adoring public, part of the political tradition as well as important in a land with a primitive electronic mass media. Second, Bhutto came from a feudal family that was genuinely adored by millions of people. She may well have thought that, despite the earlier attack, she wold be protected by her own.) </p>
