The top news story this morning is about the assassination of Benazir Bhutto! Following a political rally, she was leaving and was then shot in the neck and chest. She would later be pronounced martyred at 6:16 local time. After the assassin shot her, the assassin would then set off a bomb and kill himself and at least 20 others. This is indeed a sad event that has occurred.
Ms. Bhutto was a strong leader and courageous woman. She sought to bring peace and bring an end to terrorism in our world. She would still walk out into the streets in the face of attempted assassinations. She was more concerned to be with the people than her own safety.
Pakistan is an important ally of ours in the war of terrorism but some things are very evident here for us to see. Pakistan is still dangerous. Its leaders need some backbone. Terrorists are still a serious threat to our world.
What lessons can be learned here as a result of today's news?
* Pakistan is still dangerous and there are terrorists living in the northern part of that country.
* Don't support those that don't support you and your vision.
* Women can be strong leaders and stand up in the face of danger and opposition.
* The nature of human depravity.
I pray for the family of Ms. Bhutto and the people of Pakistan. I pray for peace! I pray, "Even so come, Lord Jesus!"
