…who is seeing similarities in the manner Benazir was groomed for her job (politically/media related in the west) and Fatima?
The similarities are amazing.
Re: Am I the only one…
Your not wrong in your observance. I noticed it too…
In fact history and statecraft are often repeated.
Whats is alarming is how you seem to be very interested in her… 
Are you eyeing the next Zardari role?
Mind not yaar it’s just a joke.
Feel free to lampoon me anytime…
Re: Am I the only one....
has anyone read her book "songs of blood & sword"?
Re: Am I the only one....
^No. She moans too much otherwise I like her.

However CM if grooming for leadership was so beneficial in producing future Kings or Queens.............then I always wonder what Happened to Longest Grooming since childhood of one person who is practically garurantied the throne of England............."Bonnie Prince Charlie"....:)
Re: Am I the only one....
Like it worked in Benazir's case. She ****ed up the country. But I find the fact that Fatima is going through a similar makeover is very worrying. What Pakistan does not need is implanted leadership like Benazir was.

I find her to be one of the most attractive Pakistani women around, and incredibly intelligent. I know she put alot of blame on her Aunt for her fathers murder, I wonder if she still blames her?
Re: Am I the only one....
^To be honest, I'm not impressed with her since nothing came from her on Pakistan's flood victims except an article in American newspaper against her uncle's government.
Re: Am I the only one....
The PPP politics has spilled from Bhutto family to Zardari family , and I don't see it coming back to Bhuttos anytime soon .
Re: Am I the only one....
^Yeah, and especially the way she dresses up I don't think she's gonna get much support from Pakistanis.
Re: Am I the only one…
Though this Aseefa Zardari dress like her mom . So she might be a potential PM for Pakistaniz 
Re: Am I the only one....
reading her on wiki.........didn't know that she went to SOAS for her degree in south asian studies. Interesting.
Chalo I should feel proud now for joining the same School. :@:
Re: Am I the only one…
yes, the western media compelled all these people to show up to BB’s speeches. BB was a stooge of the west. but then she was also killed by the west. everything is a conspiracy.
Fatima Bhutto’s stepmother can’t even get 250 people to hear her speak. so lets see how many ppl show up for Fatima Bhutto.
Re: Am I the only one....
^Yeah, and especially the way she dresses up I don't think she's gonna get much support from Pakistanis.
lol. yeah that must be it. all she has to do is start wearing a shuttlecock burqa and she'll become PM in no time.
Re: Am I the only one....
Hmmm, not a fan of hers.
Re: Am I the only one…
oh well, you never know. lol
I don’t like any of these bhuttos and zardaris, never did.
Re: Am I the only one....
i don't see the similarity, BB had many advantages from her father being foriegn minister and PM. FB is essentially an orphan if i recall correctly ghinwa isn't her biological mother and Murtaza was more violent radical/streetfighter than an overly ambitious politician with dreams of power.
You can fault BB for many things but she earned her leadership of the PPP, she went to jail in brutal conditions, came back and took over the PPP despite some very strong opposition from within it from some major figures like Jatoi. None of those accomplishments were preordained...
FB by comparison is a well spoken person with the surname Bhutto who writes well, besides that i don't see her winning any elections. More importantly Pakistan has changed..having a landed background and/or biradri connections is no guarantee of victory in an election anymore.

fatima is pretty adamant about not joining politics, she hates the whole idea of dynasties and she has always said that she would wholeheartedly support anybody that is fully qualified to do the job rather than somebody like her or anybody that just comes from a political family
she's on many occasions said she would even tattoo it on her forehead if she could that she does not want to go into politics like her family members did since she's been asked that 100s of times.
Re: Am I the only one....
^^ then why she is always trying to gain synthesis from world on the behalf of Benzir? She should make her own value and her own status. What agenda she really has behind all of her international appearances and shines?
Re: Am I the only one....
She speaks well. She has made some controversial remarks in support of gay rights/lesbians . I don't have the source on me right now.
These dynastic ruling elite need to end! including those feudal families who have been in power for decades. I think the media boom has helped shed some light for the masses though the media can take things into extreme.
