    Beautiful, Eloquent, Passionate Benazir Bhutto, Once Pakistan's

    14/05/2015 Fall of Queen Bibi: From the hope of a nation to money­launderer | The Times Fall of Queen Bibi: From the hope of a nation to money­launderer by Burhan Wazir Published at 12:00AM, August 7 2003 Beautiful, eloquent, passionate ­ Benazir Bhutto, once Pakistan’s great political hope, has been convicted of money­laundering MOHTARMA BENAZIR BHUTTO, or Bibi as she is affectionately known in Pakistan, has been feeling homesick for some time. Two weeks ago, at a party in Dubai to celebrate her 50th birthday, the exiled former Prime Minister chose to honour the occasion with a self­penned poem. The nine pages of closely typed print, written as a commemorative account of both past achievements and unfolding glories, make for enlightening reading. Recalling Pakistan, a country now governed by General Pervez Musharraf, she writes: My spirit is in one place My body in another My mind torn asunder The Elections were so Unfair Made of Broken Promises Billions spent in marketing A dictatorship as a democracy. The words appear to indicate an arrogant conceit; as if Bhutto feels she was destined to lead her country for ever. Or perhaps, having been in exile now for four years, she simply has too much time on her hands. Later, however, she writes as if dreaming of a return: We will raise buildings Where there are deserts And stop the weeping of the women of the land. Cry not. For Bhutto, a return to Pakistan must now seem more distant a prospect than ever. On Tuesday an investigating magistrate in Switzerland found Bhutto and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, guilty of money­laundering.
