Oh great, the US can't win no matter what.
First we are bad because we get involved in everyones business then we are even worse for not providing enough security for everyone.
I wish the US would just say no to all, bring everyone home once and for all and tell the rest of the world to effoff.
Next time there is world crisis you're on your own.
Nothing like tough love to straighten out the youngens.

Well, they say she wasn't hit by a bullet or any shrapnel/ fragmentation from the blast. She died from the force of the blast pushing her against the sun roof opening. Plus there will be no autopsy.
Pakistan says Bhutto died of fractured skull, not bullet wounds
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Benazir Bhutto died from a skull fracture suffered when she hit her head against her vehicle during a suicide attack, not from bullet wounds, the Interior Ministry said Friday.
Authorities had said on Thursday that she died from bullet fired by a young man who then blew himself up, killing 20 other people. A surgeon who treated her said Friday she died from the impact of shrapnel on her skull.

She wasn't even harmed by the blast she was shot twice. I would recheck your sources if I were you. Her spinal cord was severed when she was shot in the neck.
I saw it on the news, but it is being reported on news web sites now :
Benazir Bhutto 'did not die from shots or blast'
Pakistan's interior ministry said no bullet or shrapnel was found in her body.
Telegraph TV: Benazir Bhutto's funeral in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh
Ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Cheema said the opposition leader had died from a head wound she sustained when she smashed against the sunroof's lever as she tried to shelter inside the car.
"The lever struck near her right ear and fractured her skull," Mr Cheema said.
The announcement came as Pakistani security forces were given orders to shoot on sight in an attempt to curb unrest as millions across the country mourned Miss Bhutto.

it does seem a bit odd that neither the gunshots nor the blast are being attributed as the cause of death. No, she died from striking her head against the sunroof's handle.
