I was watching CNN and they said she was assassinated,
which is really awful.

I honestly think the American government organized it. It
wouldn't be the first time !

Awful because she is a person, I don't know what she is
doing that's bad, I have no political view more then
thinking what I see on tv is a lie. It's childish but after
you hear about so many other examples of situations like
this , you just stop trusting your ... owners.

yes I caught this news today, was going to start a
thread...

I don't know what to say really, it's shocking and sickening
that there are people out there who would kill a mother of
3, at a rally leading up to an election, and for what?

The world has gone crazy..

it would be interesting to see the US reaction considering
there close ties with the Musharraf 'President'

Yes, of course, the American government wanted to
assassinate the person they actually wanted to win next
year.
That makes sense.
At least learn a bit about shit before you start talking it.

...because of being friends with bush, or what?

I think this was an awful attack which just leads to more
deaths and chaos, but it wasn't even a little surprising,
just something bound to happen any day... (can't we just ban
religon, read som critical theory and do what needs to be
done - save the environment and end all forms of slavery?)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure America WANTS democracy in Pakistan
and therefore supported this woman. Democracy usually
generates money, war loses money.

Of course, when I say democracy, I don't mean real democracy
- but controlled democracy, where the people "think" they
live in a democracy but don't.

And if you live in a dustbowl where oil is the only
available bargaining chip, democracy becomes irrelevant -
you support whatever government gets you the oil and help
kill whoever gets in the way of you obtaining it. If you can
put a puppet government in, ie. Iraq all the better.

This is how the US operates, while Europe turns a blind eye
or uses terrorism as an excuse to back them.

nothing is gonna change. if the US wanted to intevene they
have their forces about 3 miles away ready to go in. but
they wont. and i'd be surprised if anyone here knew what she
stood for, or indeed anything about pakistani politics at
all. idiots.

The American Government should assinate all the entrants of
american idol they dont want to win on the first show, then
the winner will be revealed much quicker, hence they
producers of the show will save costs.

How do you know they wanted her to win? If they did, don't
you think she would still be alive? I'm sure the USA has the
power to protect people better then this.

If the US would've sent in the kind of security force that
would've been needed, she would've been seen as a puppet and
it would've made her much less popular. Plus, people don't
like america sending troops into their country. Plus, we
suck at keeping people alive.

Don't get me wrong, we suck and our gov has most certainly
assassinated heads of state and set up coups and probably
will again, but to my knowledge there's not much that points
toward anything other than the us liking her more than any
of the other options.

How do we really know? I guess we never can. But,
she was probably more outwardly open to a friendly
relationship with the us than Musharraf, as well as more
outwardly anti-religious extremist. What I'm saying is
there seems to be a lot that would imply we would want her
to win, and not very much at all that implies that we would
gain anything by her being killed.

that's not true at all

she had many enemies inside the pakistani army but not only
and she knew very well her time was counted but she actually
refused protection from the us, it was only a matter of
time...

besides there's way too little information for now to
actually know who is behind it
