Re: Benazir Bhutto

Yes, definitely a powder keg but what bothers me is that many different
religious groups were able to live there and in the old Yugoslavia area in
the last century with relative peace.  There were small villages with
Christians, Muslims, and Jews that tolerated each other until WWI.  The
Nazis moved South from Austria after WWII and further stired up things. 
Even in Iraq, Christians have lived there since the early Christian Church
was established but have to leave now because they have no protection.
