On October 29, 2007 I explained how stupid our officials are. I wrote on LRC: “Some U.S. officials must have urged Benazir Bhutto to return, and if they didn’t they were happy about it. But no sooner she lands, then bin Laden tries to wipe her out…Bhutto is in a very dangerous position. Mushareef does not want her around either. Does Washington know any more than I do about Pakistan, which is nothing? After Iraq, I am entitled to have my doubts.”
Now the Christian Science Monitor writes: “It is the sort of instability that Western nations had sought to avoid by persuading President Pervez Musharraf to allow Bhutto back into the country.”
I’d like to know the real story behind her return.
