This article is a useful corrective to the hagiography that has grown up around her since her untimely death. True democrats do not - indeed, can not - bequeath their party positions to their teenage sons. Such behavior is more typical of autocrats. As much as I would like to admire her more, Benazir Bhutto was admirable primarily as someone who may have aspired to democracy rather than a democrat herself.

I'm glad someone else noticed this

hard to argue with that. Especially considering from whence her own name and power came from.

Well said, Eric.
