Bhutto more powerful as a martyr than alive?

[kentuck]

As some have speculated, that is the reason for all the different stories about the cause of her demise. If she was assassinated, she will be a martyr. If she bumped her head, not so much. And that is why so many are busy in defining her death.

1. It would appear to have caused more fear and outrage to define murder as a bump on the bean.

2. I think it was a strong message.

" Your either with us or against us."...Now, let me see, Where have I heard that before?

3. Its not that she is more powerful dead as a martyr than alive...

It is more that if she died as a martyr it is a more meaningful death than dying from an accident. In other words, Dying as a martyr is much more powerful than dying from an "accident"
