Benazir Bhutto went to the United States when she was sixteen and attended Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she earned a degree in government. At this time she experienced quite a different culture from her Pakistani home. While she was at Cambridge, her father became prime minister of Pakistan. Between 1973 and 1977 Bhutto attended Oxford University in Oxford, England. In December 1976 she was elected president of Oxford Union, becoming the first Asian woman to head that famous debating society.
Comment: Both Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto were brought back to Pakistan from exile under US pressure. Since Musharraf is a recalcitrant US dog, the US brought in the other well mannered freshly trained dogs ( or rather a dog and a ***). The terrorists are not an issue here. It is OIL. Pakistan under Pervez Musharraf has agreed on the $7.4billion gas pipeline connecting Iran to India via Pakistan. This will put in a big hole in the bucket on the sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program.

Over the past year, Benazir Bhutto has repeatedly pointed out that General Musharraf’s war against terrorism in Pakistan was failing. Instead of curbing terrorism, the militants had become more daring during the General’s tenure. She promised to do better. She would wipe out the “religious extremists,� shut down “extremist� madrasas, and even hand over Dr. Qadeer Khan – the architect of Pakistan’s nuclear program – to the US for questioning. Insistently, and loudly, Benazir Bhutto was seeking to assure the United States that she would do a lot better than their General.

In October, Benazir Bhutto landed in Pakistan guns blazing. Her supporters will argue she returned to Pakistan because of her commitment to democracy. If this is true, she certainly did a good job of hiding it during her decade of self-imposed exile. She quite happily spent those years away from politics, fighting off a plethora of corruption cases in Spanish and Swiss courts. She returned to Pakistan because her friends in Washington suddenly found a job for her in Islamabad.
