Benazir Bhutto

Let us heed her words in her memory:
"Dictatorship neglects the basic needs of the people. And when their basic needs to clothing, to housing, to drinking water, to economic advancement is neglected, the poverty and the desperation is a fertile ground for the extremists to exploit."
-- Benazir Bhutto on NPR this June (see http://www.npr.org/about/press/2007/060407.bhutto.html )
