All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces

Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had

I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one new me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take

When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world





Mad world

3. What a loss...

Pakistan simply didn't deserve her.

[Angela Shelley]

5. What do you mean?

What do you mean with "Pakistan simply didn´t deserve her"?

What have 156 million people done to not be deserving of her?

[Hatalles]

18. It was a dumb comment...

... made by someone who probably doesn't know a thing about Pakistan. I've seen a lot of them today.

[tavalon]

59. I think that was a hamhanded way of saying she was too good for this world

I doubt he meant it as a slur.

8. Thanks for helping us understand what this means, seemslikeadream.

A most complicated picture...

Benazir Bhutto (Born 1953)

Benazir Bhutto, the eldest child of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was born on June 21, 1953 in Karachi. She attended Lady Jennings Nursery School and then Convent of Jesus and Mary in Karachi. Learn More...

Thanks for helping us see, 'Dreamy.

17. Her murder is the murder of Pakistani nation.

This is terrible, We cannot find words." Such was the reaction of weeping people of Pakistan. After suffering through price hikes, hoarding, emergency, PCO, murder of judiciary and press, plethora of Suicide attacks, they now are witnessing the shocking murder of Benazir Bhutto. Her murder is the murder of Pakistani nation.

Its not about People's Party or Muslim League or whoever else. Its about the humanity. Its about the courage of the lady, who came back to the country from the posh palaces of London and Spain to fight for his countrymen, and she was well received. Though she was accused of deals and dheels, she nonetheless ruled the hearts of millions of people in the country.

President Musharraf has done well to announce nation-wide mourning, he would do more well only now he transfers the power to the representatives of the people.

The terrorists should be dealth with iron hands without mercy.

23. Benazir had pledged that the PPP would not allow the military to rig the upcoming January 8 parliam

The Pakistani authorities are blaming Muslim militants for the assassination. That is possible, but everyone in Pakistan remembers that it was the military intelligence, or Inter-Services Intelligence, that promoted Muslim militancy in the two decades before September 11 as a wedge against India in Afghanistan and Kashmir. The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) faithful will almost certainly blame Pervez Musharraf, and sentiment here is more important than reality, whatever the reality may be. The PPP is one of two very large, long-standing grassroots political parties in Pakistan, and if its followers are radicalized by this event, it could lead to severe turmoil. Just a day before her assassination Benazir had pledged that the PPP would not allow the military to rig the upcoming January 8 parliamentary elections.

16. She was like a lamb placed in a den of wolves

she never had a chance

[dysfunctional press]

19. however- just because she's dead, it doesn't make her legacy any less corrupt.

nt

[MadMaddie]

33. And Mushariff is not corrupt? He is in bed with the Taliban how

much more corrupt can one be?

[dysfunctional press]

38. where did i say he wasn't?

they can BOTH be corrupt. except that she would be in the past tense.

[arcos]

66. So, what if she was corrupt?

I mean, it would be better if it wasn't that way, but when your only choices are corrupts, I'd rather stick with the corrupt that at least tries to benefit their people, that fights for what they believe in and for democracy, that has the courage to stand up.

That's her real legacy, not corruption, since that's the default legacy of politics and most politicians in probably most of the world.

[jhrobbins]

68. Ms Bhutto came on my radar about 15 years ago, but I never really

knew a lot about her and her legacy. Of course, I have heard all of the comments of late about her corrupt governmant, but I don't know any of the particulars. Direct me so that I can remedy this.

[dysfunctional press]

69. google is your friend.

bhutto + corruption is as good a place to start as any.

[shireen]

21. incredibly sad

when i was a kid, i looked up to her as a role model; a woman becoming president of a Muslim country. That was so amazing. Off and on, over the years, I've followed her career and exile, and recent return.

This morning's news made me sick to my stomach. She was an incredibly courageous and strong woman.

25. Thanks, SLaD

On a sad day we need a round of your green letters and words :-)

[bobthedrummer]

26. It is indeed a mad world...

mutually assured destruction, death, and kill those that speak against the liars.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Benazir Bhutto's assassination-and, like her, not surprised.

Fwiw, the year started with a lot of news about Pakistan that concerned me enough to track it in LBN for a few days-it began with a report from the BBC

"BBC: Pakistan nuclear 'kidnap' foiled" (started 1-15-2007)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2689760

And now the year is ending in a still mad world...

27. Beautiful, thank you. K&R

28. K&R

Thank you.

[robertpaulsen]

29. Beautiful and haunting. That last photo fills me with rage.

WHERE THE HELL IS HER SECURITY?! I can see why she would blame Musharraf as I don't see ANYONE around to protect her in any meaningful way. What a tragedy.

[shance]

30. Thank you dear SLAD for another beautiful post.

Your heart is huge as is your concern for others.

Don't think I could find it right now! :hi:

42. That song is such a vicious trigger...

A nostalgia so poignant that you have linked to this particular tragedy in the most beautiful and devastating way.

I have felt the crushing desperation of the past several years, the tears are no longer stifled. I cannot stop them anymore.


It is so hard not to turn them all into hatred.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

43. K & R. Whose agenda is served by the destabilization of Pakistan?

[ClayZ]

44. Thank you! K and R

[scarletwoman]

45. Thank you so much for putting this together, SLAD. Recommended, of course.

Brought me to tears.

I remember all those years ago when she first took over for her murdered father. I admired her very much, I thought it was so wonderful that a woman could be the leader of Muslim nation. It seemed to me that she must be a very special and strong woman to have done so.

So much darkness has gathered in the years since...

I'm in such pain... pain is in such me.

47. Thanks Dr did you notice the verison I posted?

[The Doctor.]

63. It's a much better version... I was too caught up in the pictoral presentation

I missed it.

Thank you for this thread, it's beautiful.

[juajen]

48. I've tried not to cry all day. I can't believe they did it.

I'll leave all of you to determine who I think "they" are.

[zoff]

49. Pakistan ... NOW is your time! ...

About 20 years ago, another exile decided to return to his home country. Unlike Bhutto, he literally never got to set foot on his native soil, as he was shot behind the head as he was escorted off his plane. Three years later, ordinary people, nuns, priests, students, and a handful of soldiers, defied a nearly 20-year dictatorship. In 3 days the dictator was overthrown in a (relatively) peaceful revolt. Pakistan, it is now your turn.

[Diamond Dave]

50. A really beautiful piece of work. Thanks. So sad.................

Myabe one of your best?

51. I sincerely hope that

something good comes out of this travesty.

RIP Benazir Bhutto.

52. K&R! Beautiful Tribute! I am very sad but honestly, I'm not surprised!

:cry: This is Devastating for the Pakistani people! They have my heartfelt condolences! I hope they can find peace! :grouphug:


Dam... :cry: WHY! Why couldn't they protect her? :cry: SLAD,You don't have to answer that question. :hug:
Sadly, I already think I know the answer! Your post kinda made me think of another song, I will think of her now when I think of our heroes, including Senator Wellstone!
To me, She seemed a lot like a female Bobby Kennedy...
She tried to free a lot of people...but it seems, the good, they die young...I just looked around and she was gone'

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

56. Listening to the music of the song as I read your post. A beautiful and apt tribute.

60. History will welcome her story

A beautiful, intelligent and obviously respected woman to become prime minister of an Islamic country. She was powerful and powerful people with the people behind them are a threat.

She will be remembred.

[BrklynLiberal]

61. Tragedy does not begin to describe this. Beautiful tribute. Thanks.

It just seems that those that deserve such an end, are never the victims of it.

[wizstars]

62. Bush was so quick to condemn "murderous terrorists", as if...

...to deflect attention away from the Musharrif government and its possible complicity in the crime. HMMMmmmmmm..........

"and it makes me wonder..."
