Rachael is kind of freaking out because Benazir Bhutto was the featured speaker at Mary Baldwin College last October. Mookie was there, and shook hands with Bhutto after her address.

She was a MAJOR thorn in the sides of Islamists, as both a woman in a prominent national position, and someone who wanted to zap the freakin' Taliban/terrorists.
Her loss is crushing for democracy in the region. It's crushing, period.
