Never speak ill of the dead, they say, although the Latin tag in fact means 'say nothing about them unless it is good' implying that those who usually speak and are silent have bad things to say. I don't agree that they are best left unsaid.
I have been critical of Benazir Bhutto since I first met her at university. Her death is a tragedy for her family, and for those who loved her, and difficult news for the West. But I maintain she was not the right person to run Pakistan. R.I.P.
