BB - Dirty politics with extreme casualties

There's much hype these days about Benazir being attacked as the prime victim of one of the biggest terrorist attempts of 2007. The way I see it, She never should've come back to country she and her husband so openly and wildly robbed. The lust for power that pulled her back to a country that otherwise she won't ever consider has grown to limit that she would try to make up a worldclass scene like that. I am not sure if she'd thought it through properly, because the number of lives lost were too many. She's an egoistic, mean, selfish, power-hungry, unprincipled, disgraceful thief but still noone would want so many people losing their lives. No one can want that. Or can they!

So many people lost their lives. But feel angry on the people who went to her useless and meaningless procession. Have people of Pakistan forgotten that how much this couple has robbed the country of its resources and wealth?! How can anyone? I will always see Benazir as an extremely corrupt and fundamentalist politician ready to do anything for power and money. She really is nothing more than that. So I feel pity on the much literate and learned politicians of PPP to follow such a leader.

Here's a recent statement from Chief Minister Sindh. I liked what he openly said.


Most of the people believe that what happened at Karsaz was not an attack at all. Benazir and all other PPP leaders safe and just the common workers and other people losing their lives can mean only one thing. It was not a clumsy terrorist attack but a well thought through and planned scheme. The results of the scheme were right how the initiators wanted it to be. Dr. Shahid Masood who recently joined Geo TV after a long service with ARY Digital also seemed surprised at the fact that the bombs only went off moments after Benazir moved down in the armored caravan given to her, and nothing happened while she was continuously standing at the top of the vehicle and was waiving hands to the political workers who had joined her procession. The lady was warned at multiple times by the authorities about the safety risk involved in such an open display, but she paid no attention and carried out the things the way she had planned.

In a way, I personally hold Benazir responsible for the deaths at Karsaz even if it really were a terrorism attempt targeted towards her. She realized the gravity of the situation herself even before departing for Pakistan from UAE, and yet she let so many people on the streets just to show off her (non-existent) popularity. These are not just my thoughts. The major figures in the country have nominated her as the accused for the incident, be it a direct involvement or a just facilitation to the terrorism attempt.

Benazir just won the sympathies of the West and the media. She really needed that, because it's always the Western powers that have brought her into rule, and she acknowledges and appreciates that, and keep walking back to them whenever she's in hot waters. Losing and gaining popularity inside the country has never meant anything for her. The Karsaz incident has allowed her to gain attention of the media and the West who've started to see her as really an element that can be more cooperative in their conquests.

The dictator on the other hand continues to display extremities. One of the leaders he sends back in stead of allowing him in the country. So much is the fear in his heart. The other 'leader" when comes flying on a Western eagle is welcomed and protected by him.

Geo TV has done a shameful role in promoting Benazir as a leader when she arrived in the country. Geo was continuously displaying the newsline saying, 'Benazir is back after 8 years of exile'. ARY Digital on the other hand rightly displayed the news as 'Benazir returns after 8 years of self-imposed exile'. Such is the manipulation of media at the hands of the Geo. Shameful!
