- Hide quoted text -to the Editor: It is welcome that president Bush insists that "Those who [assassinated Benazir Bhutto] must be brought to justice." The world would be a better place if he would condemn all political assassinations, as our treaty obligations say. We are waiting still for such an announcement regarding the assassination of Abdul-Majid al-Khoei, four and half years after the fact. Like Bhutto, Khoei returned from exile to lead his country towards democracy. Like Bhutto, he was promptly assassinated by those who oppose democracy. - Show quoted text - If America's rhetoric has the effect of luring leaders back from exile to their deaths, we have been abetting thugs under the banner of "freedom".Barry Levine1142 Brown AveLafayette, CA 94549510 220 6948
