1. Woman of Peace?
Perhaps Bhutto's greatest moment in her life of "peace" was the Pakistani government funding and arming the shit out of the Taliban during her tenure while lying to the Clinton administration saying that they were not. I mourn her death as an incident of terrorism, a defeat of democracy, and possible victory for tyranny (if Musharraf was involved). But just because she was assassinated doesn't mean she deserves to join Mother Theresa in the same sentence, much less a pantheon of great people.

5. maybe I was hasty in adding her
but did so based on her recent history only. Sorry if I offended you, my intention was not to do so. I will look into her political history and revise vid if it is as you state. Mother Theresa is one of my hero's and I would not want to dishonor her in any way.

3. OK,maybe she wasn't 'Mother Teresa' -- However..just maybe, she did try to find redemption!
:cry: Sadly, We may never know!:-(
However, that said, for the Pakistani people who grieve, she was their hope for peace...
So for those innocent Pakistani people-- my heartfelt condolences!
I sincerely hope they can find peace! :hug:

4. Mother Teresa wasn't even 'Mother Teresa'
I recently say a show on PBS that really opened my eyes a bit about her and she wasn't all that the name has come to signify.

6. every great person has their faults
I choose those women based on how I perceived their works affected history and women. Sorry my vid was meant to inspire peace and involvement in our everyday lives. I did not intend on offending anyone.
