This morning I travelled to Rawalpindi, the partner city to Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.  Near the city center, we noted Liaquat National Bagh, the park where Benazir Bhutto, the leading candidate for Prime Minister, was gunned down in Dec. 2007.  At the moment that I passed the Park with its history of blood, a massive explosion was occurring in Lahore several hours further south.
