It really is looking like Biden is the right man for these times…

I was looking forward to having a strong man as President like Musaruff and Bhutto as Prime Minister. I think the two would have made a strong alliance and brought stability to Pakistan and the elimination of the terroist problem in the North West territories.
Very saddened to hear about loss of Bhutto.

Granpa McCain go away, take a break.

I think Obama's idea of getting all the leaders of Islmaic nations together to come to some type of agreement on how the plan to handle terrorism is the best new idea I've heard about foreign policy coming from any candidate on ether side.
Hillary attacked Obama for saying he would do this, but honestly, don't we need a new strategy when it comes to dealing with global terrorism.

We've been doing things the same way for decades, and its obviously not working.

If we want world peace it is going to take the courage to stand up and demand world peace. If we want LESS CONFLICT in the Middle East, its best NOT TO AUTHORIZE Unnecessary WARS in the region. Hillary has some explaining to do.

I hate to bring this up in a time of tragedy, but because the terrorists hate woman leadership so much, isn't it fair to be concerned that having Hillary as our president will only exacerbate the war on terror even further?
I know that sounds like i cowardly and its a stupid thing to say right now, but isn't it also a valid argument?
I don't want HRC to be the leader of this country if that's going to make Islamic extremists want to come here to assassinate Clinton. I know we can't let terrorist control our politics, but honestly, can we let our elected officials continue to anger Islamic extremists and not expect terrorism around the world? Please Hillary supporters, I'm not trying to sling mud, this is an actual concern of mine.

The assassination was undoubtedly heartbreaking. However, I respectfully disagree with the portrayal of Mrs. Bhutto as a great leader. The people of Pakistan gave her 2 opportunities to prove her leadership qualities. However, she did little for the cause of the nation. She & her husband were corrupt, wanted not only by the courts in her own country but in Switzerland as well. In all honesty, her recent return to Pakistan as a political contender was baffling to many locals.
On the sad day of her demise, she neglected to heed the advice of the government & her own party faithful, to be cautious. She made herself an easy target. There were other members of her party in the same car as hers when she was killed. They were not affected because they stayed inside, protected by the security afforded by the government. It is very, very sad but honestly, no one can be protected in this situation. We cannot expect the leadership to stop serving the country to protect one politician.

Benazir Bhutto was silenced for good. The best educated, experienced and the most popular and powerful politician of modern Pakistan has been eliminated by the corrupt president Parvez Musharraf with the help of our free military and economic contributions.
This is the result of our disastrous foreign policy due to our generous help given to corrupt military dictatorship without a due process of accountability.
It is indeed a great joke to hear from some of our presidential candidates, like John McCain and Rudy Giuliani, to make ridiculous statements after the death of Benazir Bhutto. Both candidates, McCain and Giuliani sound immature political candidates by stressing and referring to their respective foreign experiences with their naive references concerning Pakistan, or former prime minister Benazir Bhutto or President Parvez Musharraf. Shaking hands or placing an overseas phone calls to foreign leaders or politicians means nothing. If indeed McCain and Giuliani are serious and mean business with results in America's foreign policy, let them come out with tangible and workable solutions to the current crisis in the Middle East and the Near East, such as: Iraq, Afghanistan, pakistan, Iran, Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Kurdistan. After five years of military and financial supports to countries fighting terrorism/counter terrorism, the same territories are in turmoil and no possible and tangible solutions in sight. We are indeed wasting our billion dollars and especially our YOUNG GI s, while at the same time the entire region is going from BAD TO DISASTER.
The only question we would like to ask to our presidential candidates, especially to McCain and Giuliani, both contenders of America's Foreign Policies (according to their own acceptance), is WHEN THIS HERORRHAGE OF OUR HUMAN AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES WILL END ?

IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM, FORMER PRIME MINISTER BENAZIR BHUTTO BECAME A MARTYR. THIS IS THE DIREST RESULT OF WHEN OUR FINANCIAL AND FILITARY SUPPORTS ARE WASTED BY CORRUPT MILITARY DICTATORS.

Our congress and the last three administrations are to blame for letting both Pakistan and India aquire nuclear weapons. These two unstable countries may make our concern about nuclear capability in Iran look foolish.

They both are more unstable than Iraq or Iran are, and show no responsibility in handling this technology.

"And to all of those who are missing a loved one, there are no words any of us can express, except to tell you in the clearest possible terms we will — in a united American response — support you, offer assistance to you, stand with you, and pursue those who reached deep into your family homes yesterday and took someone you loved away from you."
-Hillary Clinton, 12 Sep. 2001

…How is diverting our forces from Afghanistan to Iraq, a country which had nothing to do with 9/11, pursuing "those who reached deep into your family homes yesterday and took someone you loved away from you"? Saddam Hussein was not responsible for a single American death on 9/11, yet he's dead. Osama Bin Laden was responsible and he remains free because of Clinton and the Neocons' War in Iraq.

On January 3rd, 2008, the voters in Iowa will take Hillary Clinton to task for her failed promises and empty gestures.

It depends entirely on how truthful the media coverage is. The fact of the matter is, that Obama has been saying for YEARS that we are fighting the wrong battles. Instead of Iraq, we should have focused on Pakistan and Afghanistan. He said repeatedly that a war in Iraq will destabilize the Middle East. Will the media cover the fact that he was RIGHT and Hillary Clinton was WRONG for repeatedly criticizing Obama's statements on Pakistan? Or will the media instead focus on this inept "experience" argument that Clinton feeds them?

Bhutto's assasination and Time's selection of Vladimir Putin should be reminders to voters that the President needs to have foreign policy experience. We should shelf the domestic focused logos like "It's the economy, stupid." The next president has to go into negotiations and summits and stare down someone like Putin who has done things that make waterboarding and Gitmo look like child's play. This is not the time for naivety and America cannot afford a learning curve.
