" I had a clever and lighthearted blog prepared for today. It would have made Dorothy Parker proud. But you&amp;#x27;ll have to take my word for it. Because when I heard that Benazir Bhutto had been killed, it all seemed a little ridiculous. I do not know if Benazir Bhutto was the right leader for Pakistan. That was for Pakistani voters to decide, not some journalist in Washington or a mad man with a gun and a bomb. And I don&amp;#x27;t know if she was killed because she was a woman, although I have to believe her gender played some part in it. As we think and joke about and analyze the role of women in politics--as voters, as candidates, as journalists and policy makers--we&amp;#x27;ve received the most shocking of reminders that there are still places in the world where doing those things can get a woman killed. Tomorrow is a new year. Tomorrow we can look forward, with hope and promise. But for today, I, for one, am looking back--at the long line of brave and accidental and just plain crazy women who brought us here. And the ones, like Benazir Bhutto, who didn&amp;#x27;t live to see the new year dawn. &amp;amp;#8212;Rebecca See Asma&amp;#x27;s post on her encounter with Bhutto."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
