Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week paid respects to slain former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto by signing a condolences book in her memory at the Pakistani embassy in Washington.
Rice also praised Bhutto’s dedication to democracy in brief comments to the press. “This is a day of great tragedy, of great mourning,” Rice said. “[Bhutto] was a champion of democracy. … As the president said yesterday, the way to honor her memory is to continue the democratic process in Pakistan so that the democracy she so hoped for can emerge.”
