Sunroofs, fast cars and dead soldiers
Mood:  caffeinated

Apparently Bhutto was killed neither by shrapnel from a suicide bomber nor gunfire but from a fall inside her car as she hit her head on the sunroof lever after the blast.

It may be the last saving grace for a leader so loved by her supporters and hated and envied by her detractors.

For any vicious competitor intent on securing an election, or any terrorist group thirsty for revenge or in tacit support of hating America, it may the last bit of final information regarding her death that could snatch from their gnashing jaws any bloodlust driven feelings of vindication resulting from their murderous actions.

While a country and world leaders mourn, a precipitous election is less than two weeks away.  Its interesting that America vis a vis Bush would actually encourage the country to hold steadfast on the path to elections instead of  a few weeks to encourage calm and allow the mourners to adjust their visors. Is this pure canned Western thinking?

In any case, despite  rumours and innuendo disinformation which might become post-mortem facts regarding monetary corruption, she will indubliably be remembered as the worlds first democratically   elected female Muslim leader before then being remembered as a martyr. It is what captures and fascinates the Western publics imagination the most while still regaling from the shock of what must have been a brutal maddening and sickening event to witness.
