From CNN: Benazir Bhutto assassinated
This is a big deal and huge tragedy. The implications are wide and deep, not something that is going to go away soon.
Many political thinkers regard Pakistan as the most volatile and dangerous country on the planet. Instability in Pakistan is a potential mess.
Pakistan is well armed with nuclear weapons. Pakistan has also been in the center of a massive scandal with one of its main nuclear scientists implicated in nuclear deals with other volatile countries, very shady, very greedy, and hugely dangerous.
Pakistan is on the precipice between democracy and dictatorship, and this assassination would seemingly push it towards the latter.
This area of the world is hotter and a little more on fire.

Little oil but plenty of weaponry, crazed fundies, and strategically located near China.
Not the country that the world wants in their hands.
True. Sooner or later the Islamic and Christian fundies are going to get a hold of nukes. Wait a min. I think the Christian fundies already have control here. Uh Oh!
The cow plop just got a bit bigger.
