Benazir Bhutto's widower Asif Zardari has finally done it. After getting all his past deeds cleared through the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), he has bitten the hand that fed him in the form of NRO. That is the hand of Pakistan's president Pervaiz Musharraf. Anyone familiar with Pakistani politics would know the reputation of Asif Ali Zardari. So it is not unnatural for people of Pakistan to doubt his intentions of following the vision of his murdered wife, a vision that she promised to deliver to the poor people of her country, but herself failed to do so, not once but twice. The majority of people in Pakistan are so suspicious of this man that they even believe that this man had some role, if not complete responsibility, in the murder of his wife. It is also a strange co-incidence that when I entered "zardari" in the google search box, what comes on the third number in google's list of suggestions is the statement "Zardari killed Benazir". The fourth one is "Zardari corrupt". Funny, isn't it?
