Homecoming to Horrors ...

Over 130 dead ... hundreds wounded ...
the streets of Karachi torn with senseless violence.

Yet, Ms Bhutto has come home,
and today the talking heads of the world media
are offering their armchair critiques of her and
her decision to "go home."

Meanwhile hundreds of families mourn the fallen,
and weep for the wounded.

Who knows where these things will lead the people of Pakistan,
and our world ... but we MUST cling to hope ...

Hope that justice, freedom, prosperity,
and democracy will one day reach corners of the world
with names like Myanmar, Pakistan, Iraq and Afganistan ...
and every where else people yearn to be free ...
May it be so ...
