RIP Bhutto and the American Dollar

As many of you may now (and hopefully do), Bhutto was assassinated today in Pakistan. She was a great lady, one that showed many what democracy could be, and gave hope for the future of Pakistan as a democratic and peaceful nation. 

As an American, my country, and the lives of my country-people, are tied up in the politics of Pakistan, as well as many other countries. How this country, which the US has supported, is directly affected by any upheaval of political conflict and deals with challenges, crises and times of peace affect how people treat Americans, at home, abroad etc., our dollar value, the stock and the possible repercussions in the market, as well as feelings of well-being, and security. 

I sincerely hope that the investigation does find who is responsible for this horrible tragedy, and my thoughts go out to the people of Pakistan, and Bhutto's family and friends.
