Homecoming in Pakistan

Yesterday I included Benazir Bhutto return in the ECN post because I felt it would be a point in history that historians would look back and say that it was a pivotal moment for Pakistan. I felt it would stir a reaction that may push the country into the path it has been tip toeing for some time. There are of course those who will oppose this direction and you tell the type of persons they are by how they resist.

News reports on local news stations late Friday morning said 134 people had been killed and about 400 wounded.
Ms. Bhutto, who had spent eight hours on the open roof of the truck waving to supporters, had climbed inside the armored vehicle 10 minutes before the blasts occurred just before midnight, said Rehman Malik, her security adviser and close associate.

The response was to kill. Not just try and kill her but kill anybody who might support her. The response was an act to strike fear and dread. It is an attempt to cower people into submission. These do not represent the tactics of freedom fighter, they represent the tactics of criminals and would be tyrants.

What will the people of Pakistan do, will they be cowered and beat down or will they stand up to control their own future.
