Z.A. BHUTTO THE GREAT LEADER

Reader comment on item: Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan: His Life and Times
in response to reader comment: A simple view

Submitted by AAMIR AHSAN KHAN (Pakistan), Feb 26, 2008 at 12:52

Dear Readers

you have taken a very simple view of a man who is still regarded as one of Pakistan's greatest leaders. Perhaps you have to be a Pakistani to understand what Bhutto was. His brilliance was overshadowed by the times in which he was born. His accession to power was riddled with intrigue as was his stance in power.

You mention his rule had little impact on the US, are we forgetting the oil crisis of the 70s? Well maybe that can be attributed to conspiracy theory. Things be as they may, I can say with certainty that he had more charisma and more brilliance than half the presidents of the US. ...
