When Bhutto first started making waves in the media a few months ago I was laughing my ass off as they propped her up as some kind of a hero and savior. I was appalled when they put her in the same class as Aung San Suu Kyi.

I hear you on the corruption, but you have to remember that bribery is par for the course in most 2nd and 3rd world countries. It's not black and white. Anyone who doesn't seek out and kill the opposition at least gets the "moderate" label as strange as that sounds.
