More on Benazir Bhutto
Lower Manhattanite at Group News Blog has a two part post about chance encounters While Out and About. The second vignette deals with a common reaction to the rioting that is taking place in Pakistan. His response, is the same as mine. If you want to know about what is going on in Pakistan read some American history for the year 1968: political leaders assassinated and riots in the streets. I lived through it, folks, don’t try to tell me the Pakistanis are different from Americans, because we reacted in exactly the same way. You want to know about repressive police actions read about the police riot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. Been there, done that – and I still remember.

[Editor: In a timely reminder Ringo notes that American media moguls of the day didn’t pay Charles Dickens anything when they printed and sold his work in the US. (Note – this is an old picture because I’m still playing tour guide and gofor while relatives visit and the cats have been hiding in the comforter because of the cold spell.)]
