What Benazir Bhutto has

She actually stands for something, unlike the Congressional Democrats. She shares ambition with them as a character trait, and that's probably driving her insurgency of the human rights lawyers, but she's willing, unlike Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, to take a stand and put herself at risk.

How short our memories are. She was originally chased out of the country on corruption charges. Remember, the judiciary was first after her. And Clinton was quick to embrace Musharaff. Her entire administration was riddled with corruption, now she plays this populist demagouge opposite the dictatorial Musharaff, so now we think she is OK. This is a joke; unfortunately it's being played on the people of Pakistan.

Well, gee, I didn't think I was praising her. I thought I was criticizing Congressional Democrats.

Hence my reference to ambition as the probable driver of the unrest, which I thought I was referring to with visible irony by calling it an "insurgency of the human rights lawyers".

I really enjoyed your typo of 'demagouge' for someone accused of corruption.
