Yes. Breathtakingly so.<BR/><BR/>And a lucid heart, too. She never lost her feeling for the poor, the hungry, the disempowered. Which, of course, was much of what made her so charismatic, so popular, and so threatening.<BR/><BR/>Musharraf or any of his supporters who think this might accrue to their benefit, will probably find themselves in error as time unfolds.<BR/><BR/>OTOH, he may have had little left to lose at this point, anyway.<BR/><BR/>To whoever engineered it, I hope they feel in themselves the agony they've caused so many others.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-40028816056909768182007-12-28T18:04:00.000-05:002007-12-28T18:04:00.000-05:00Hers was a lucid voice in a world of lunatics.

To project that horror into the great stage of an incident like this? Too frightening even to think about.<BR/><BR/>Yes. And one of the harsh realities of human existence is, that plays a part in our ability to block these events from our awareness, both before and after they occur. It's an extremely normal and human reaction - yet it's also a counterproductive one. It leaves us ill-prepared, we're caught off guard.<BR/><BR/>DC, that's only a couple more years down the line, too. Interesting. For now? While the events playing into the larger scenario have been unfolding for years, there are certain discrete points on that continuum. This looks to be one of them.<BR/><BR/>We'll see. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how much *value* one discrete point on that continuum matters, really. Chaos is chaos.<BR/><BR/>Nancy, that's pretty much what rocked me when I first saw this news in the early morning hours. That bad feeling is an overpowering one. It's way beyond the grief I feel over the murder of a figure I've admired for so long - one of the very few politicians I've ever admired at all.<BR/><BR/>Way beyond all that.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-17665634330805132322007-12-28T01:21:00.000-05:002007-12-28T01:21:00.000-05:00I do admit, that when I first heard this had happe...I do admit, that when I first heard this had happened I thought: "Have we become witness to the beginning of the end?"<BR/><BR/>I have a bad feeling about this.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629439279545629954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-48760579219788280842007-12-27T17:22:00.000-05:002007-12-27T17:22:00.000-05:00If certain surmisings I've been making are correct...If certain surmisings I've been making are correct, we can expect the new European Union military to take a lead role in any new conflicts.
