At last! To makes sense of things, here’s Ron Paul on Benazir Bhutto’s assassination:

We’ve been supporting the, um, Musharraf government and he’s a military dictator who overthrew an elected government. We just gave him $10 billion over the last seven years. He’s supported by 8 percent of the people, and, and that does annoy some people. And there’s so many factions over there. There’s the Bhutto faction, the Musharraf faction and it just gives incentives for people to resort to violence, and I’m opposed to that. We, we, don’t need to be further involved over there. We shouldn’t have been supporting this military dictator anyway.

After a while I realized why this elliptical rant rang a bell:

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S.

Those are the words of Miss South Carolina 2007.

In Ron Paul’s sci-fi analysis the fact that there are Bhutto supporters and Musharraf supporters “gives incentives for people to resort to violence.” Furthermore, it’s somehow Musharraf’s unpopularity that inspired the murder of his opposition. I suppose if Musharraf had been adored, Bhutto would have remained safe.
