The Corner on National Review Online: Benazir Bhutto [Mark Steyn]

Mark Steyn on his old next-door neighbor: "Benazir Bhutto's return to Pakistan had a mad recklessness about it which give today's events a horrible inevitability.... She was beautiful and charming and sophisticated and smart and modern, and everything we in the west would like a Muslim leader to be - though in practice, as Pakistan's Prime Minister, she was just another grubby wardheeler from one of the world's most corrupt political classes.... Miss Bhutto could never have been a viable leader of a post-Musharraf settlement, and the delusion that she could have been sent her to her death."
