Dear Benazir

LOCATION: Houston, Pakistan

YEAR: 2007

TAGS: Freedom, Benazir, Politics, Pakistan, Assassination

PUBLISHED: December 27, 2007

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today, December 27, 2007.

When people stand for something new, it scares people who cling to something old. What's dangerous is that that kind of fear very often reveals itself as murder. It's a fear that seeks to kill the ideals, spirit and freedom embodied in the individuals who fight for change.

This post isn't a judgment on Benazir's political career - the arrests, convictions, overturned convictions, exiles and returns. No, it's a statement that she led a fight to change Pakistan in ways that her followers thought were better.

Dear Benazir: Do not rest in peace, rather keep fighting for what you believe it should be.
