...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.

The cult of martyrdom has taken over where voices fail to be heard. In Lyari, walls are plastered with posters of local boys who died protecting Bhutto when she made her triumphant return to Karachi on Oct. 18.
