...While your article on Bhutto was informative, it was disheartening, cold and disrespectful. Bhutto may have been a woman with a discrediting past, but it's safe to say that she intended to make things right. Calling her a "martyr without a cause" acknowledges only her past indiscretions. It seems that you disregarded what might have been. Ryan Sabean, Tampa...
...Bhutto, like her father, connected with Pakistan's downtrodden masses. She represented the hopes and aspirations of the country's poor and disenfranchised. For millions of her followers, her inability to deliver really did not matter. In a country ruled by inept, corrupt generals, Bhutto was an icon of defiance and courage.

...death of Bhutto and subsequent events should serve as yet more reminders that Muslim countries such as Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran are not ready for democracy. Despite all the patriotic, spread-the-good-news rhetoric, what the Bush Administration and others fail to recognize is that democracy must come from within the heart of the people, and Islamic societies are ill-prepared for democracy. Charles Osteen, North Platte...
...That intriguing cover of Bhutto was a slam dunk. The half-page shot was a symbolic depiction of her life. Can a person really live two lives, as a member of Western and Islamic societies? Sadly, as the cover seemed to suggest, that is unlikely. Dale Hill, Anadarko, Okla...
