Terrorism is a curse on the face of earth. Whenever terror strikes it leaves behind a trail of sorrow and loss. Everyday the newspapers are filled with the news of bomb-blasts in some part of the earth, making you feel so helpless and sad.
The year 2007 is about to end, and the people are in high spirits planning different ways of welcoming the new year, but destiny had different plans. The year at the end before leaving us gave us the biggest shock of the year. The untimely death of Benazir Bhutto sents shivers down the spine. It reminds me of the assasination of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi and the loss the nation suffered after their demise.
Benazir Bhutto was a fighter and a true patriot of Pakistan, who in the face of all dangers decided to return home. She knew very well the consequences of returning to her country after her self-imposed exile of eight years. She had a dream of making Pakistan a democracy in the true sense, and also work towards the welfare of the people of her country.
May God rest her soul in peace.
