Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assasinated a few hours ago. Unfortunately, many people around the world will see this event as "par for the course" for that part of the world.
It takes special people to bring about major societal changes. Look at what Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela did for South Africa. Look at what Martin Luther King, Jr. did for the United States. Where do these people come from? If we knew, there would be no opposition to human cloning.
Rather than view the assasination of Benazir Bhutto as nothing unusual, we should hope and pray that someone arises from the ashes of Pakistan to bring about positive change in the country. Stability in the region benefits all of us.
How ironic that such an event happens two days after Christmas.
