The strong possibility of the rise of a secularist Benazir into power made her a mortal threat for those in the State who harbored sympathy for Islamic Fundamentalists, with whom the notorious intelligence agencies, such as the ISI, were closely knitted since the Cold War and the Afghan War. Benazir Bhutto become a symbol of resistance against Islamic Extremists - both residing inside and outside the State. She stood secularism and modernity against militant retrogressive and conservative trends. [...] [...] Red Diary discusses why Bhutto was a target, and the resulting riots.

About time too. The Islamist scare-mongering is drivel, it's just the result of socialism and the world workers movement not currently being able to provide a credible channel for popular anger against oppression. So the anger gets channelled by the Islamists. The hijacking of the Iranian revolution in 1979 showed this. At the moment no single force - military, political party, priesthood, judiciary, Washington - is capable of controlling events. Bhutto was a safety valve, a final hope to keep the pressure cooker from bursting. The assassination ripped out the safety valve, and possible cracked the whole pot. Now the kitchen staff is getting scalded by the superheated rage finally able to escape. And if the pot explodes there will be shrapnel everywhere, too.
