The namesake of my German muse, Nicole, directed me to your well researched article on the fallacies and hypocrisies of America’s gunboat diplomacy in Pakistan.

I agree with your article, except your erroneous statement that “Most female leaders are inherently weak”.

Most female leaders have proved to be better leaders of nations and kingdoms, such as Queen Amina of Nigeria, Queen of Sheba of Ethiopia, Indira Gandhi of India, Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady of Britain and others documented in history.

Benazir Bhutto is a puppet of the fallacies and hypocrisies of America, because once she is cute and speaks good English or French, they hoist her up as their effigy of democracy.
Benazir Bhutto is a good actress.

I blame Benazir Bhutto’s husband for her political rascality, because he has failed to discipline his wife.

Erick and Danny — I think you are both correct. It is impossible for the US establishment mindset to believe that a woman who speaks good English (or French) could not be honest and good. Condi Rice actually is intelligent in a cloistered academic way, but she has no business running the State Department. Arabs and Russians (her specialty) have no respect for her. Hear how her voice quivers with uncertainty when she speaks. But that she is not respected is in a perverse way more of a qualification for the social experimenters. President Bush is truly a wiener.

You could be right Danny. I just have an overwhelming hunch that there is a gender connection in this case between Bhutto and Condi Rice.
I cannot present other cases, since she’s the only female Islamic gang-leader in sight currently (That I know of).
I believe the US would love to show their support for any female ‘leader’, no matter how corrupt and inept one would be, and this is just their first opportunity.
Show me the US supporting a male warlord against a female one, and you got me convinced

Either way, I’m afraid those Pakistani missiles are gonna fall into the wrong hands, if that didn’t happen already.

I think so. Bhutto is just one of the many examples of Western diplomats’ obsession with the local thugs who dress well and speak good English.

I was referring to the Bhutto case specifically. Are they related?

I’m not sure it is specifically about women. Masood is very much a man.

I’ll try to make it short:
The last sentence summed it up correctly.

The US is obsessed with women superiority ideology, and, lacking any real evidence that its religious belief in ‘Democracy’ is any better than alternate belief systems, use the women rights idea as support for their feelings of moral superiority.
That Pakistani crook has nothing going for her except the fact that she is a woman. The US is letting its absurd support of women, a gender bias that contradicts its own constitution, lead it to do a terrible mistake.

A mistake we will pay for, as usual.
