History Unmaking

I guess only time will tell us just how significant Benazir Bhutto was to the history of the world, but I fear that we are currently underestimating her, even as we mourn her and praise her. I suspect this is the beginning of some enormous moment and this relatively small act of violence on the worldwide political stage will telegraph to impact just about everyone everywhere. Sort of an Archduke Ferdinand-Gavrilo Princip.
