I think terrorism can be eliminated through integration. When people, young and old, are exposed to many religious belief systems, many cultures, many ways of life, they begin to see things differently. They can evaluate properly only if their thinking is not isolated by religions, cultures, and political beliefs. Then people can see the good, and bad. They can share what is similar and live in peace.
Strong emotional responses almost always circumvent reason and facts. Conspiracy theories are fed by such feelings and often have little factual foundation. The problem is that people often believe what they feel and think and never stop to weigh the facts. It is a personal observation that many people believe deeply in things that are simply not true. When this happens, strong beliefs become a big problem in this world. Terrorism is a good example.
Life is about choices, and of course, hindsight is 20/20, but it is now clear that trying to increase following by exposing herself was the wrong choice. She might have gained the following of other groups if she had exercised prudence and good judgement in light of the threats. People do understand.
It’s in the past. Done.
I am not saying she was to blame for her own murder, and you use the word bravery loosely. There is a point where reckless behavior cannot be characterized as bravery. She had a responsibility to her supporters to keep herself safe, get elected, and then affect the positive changes she promised. I am aware that some people think that exposing oneself in extremely dangerous situations is bravery. However, if exposing oneself is unnecessary, it isn’t bravery. She was in an armored car for a reason. Stay in reality. She made a mistake. I am sorry that she is dead, but she shouldn’t be.
This is a tragedy where the people are trying to assign blame. If one stays in reality, part of the blame must go to Bhutto herself for sticking her head out of the top of the car when she knew there were people who wanted to kill her. The other part belongs to the killer and those who supported and planned the assasination.
