The Times - This is my oath: I will never give in to tyranny, by Benazir Bhutto

For 60 years my nation has lurched between dictatorships and democracy. Pakistan has been stifled by political oppression and economic stagnation. For almost a decade we have been ruled by a military dictatorship. For the past five years we have been challenged by an international terrorism movement that seems to have the tribal areas of Pakistan at its very epicentre. These are not ordinary times, and they require extraordinary solutions. …

The supporters of the Taleban and al-Qaeda have threatened my assassination. The Taleban leader Baitullah Mehsud has said that his terrorists will “welcome” me on my return. And the men behind al-Qaeda have tried to assassinate me twice before. The Pakistan People’s Party and I represent everything they fear the most – moderation, democracy, equality for women, information and technology. We represent the future, a future that has no place in it for ignorance, intolerance and terrorism.

Ah:

Benazir,
Whilst you were in power your husband would ask for a 10% cut from businessmen before granting them licenses to operate. I know this because my fathers friend dealt with your husband personnally. Why on earth should anyone trust you to lead.?
You and your ilk have taken so much from Pakistan whilst ordinary Pakistani’s struggle to feed, clothe and educate themselves.
