Well, her father Ali Bhutto, the former president, who was taken out by the generals, was hanged by his number one military rival Zia, right?
Sure, those places, in good old rug merchant manner, whoever gets into a position to steal for his own riches does indeed that. A way of life, I guess. next you have the winning thieves sentencing the losing thieves to hang.
Pretty much like when the winning war criminals sentence the losing war criminals to hang. Like in Nuremberg and Tokyo.
That said, in no way do I try to say those guys shouldn't hang for what they did but just pointing out that at the same time other war criminals, as bad or even worse, walked because the were not on the losing side.
Now, this takes me places, I better stop here.
I just have a problem to believe that Benazir Bhutto was any more corrupt than any of those other guys in command in that part of the world.
