Benazir Bhutto's Assassination and Presidential Politics
Paul Krugman sure got this one right,
To all the presidential campaigns trying to claim that the atrocity in Pakistan somehow proves that they have the right candidate — please stop.This isn’t about you; in fact, as far as I can tell, it isn’t about America. It’s about the fact that Pakistan is a very messed-up place. This has very bad consequences for us, but it’s hard to see what, if anything, it says about US policy.
Read the whole thing on Krugman's blog, The Conscience of a Liberal.

Reuters (I didn't check the other news) was also too quick to put the blame on Al Queda based purely on speculation.

Today after Benazir US is telling to its brother EU , see this fight against terrorism is not fake ,i have not forged it, it is real.
i am giving you a token of Pakistan if you wish to take then i will be great full and if you still deny i will find other ways to combat your Euro.
US should know EU is very patient and wise and will not fallow US in this which will make many things clear to US in future.
This lost of Pakistan is very beneficial for US in different Prospects because now Mushaf is no more needed, Pakistan is saturated and is declared as victory of Terrorists and EU is not participating in this War so this chance is tempting for EU to come on.
