Benazir Bhutto Assassinated - You cannot have free elections when the candidates are killed by extremists. Bhutto's death bears similarity to Robert Kennedy's assassination because both were running for their country's highest office.

The world should have free elections. The process of those elections should not be interrupted. Unfortunately, a few criminals got loose and killed a headstrong woman who wanted to lead Pakistan. There is a reason why the United States incarcerates more people than any other nation. Events like these underscore the need for more prisons around the world, not just the United States.

Extremism is on full display today, and every rational-thinking person can see what a step back it truly is.
