Canie: "Personally, I think they deserve what they got for taunting a female tiger "

Me: Seems a little harsh. I'm physically a lot stronger than the neighborhood kids, but I don't think I'll kill them the next time they thumb their noses at me after I tell them to stay off the lawn!

Canie: "As for Benazir Bhutto, I firmly believe it was the current regime, not Al Queda, who arranged that tragedy."

The youths may have teased the tiger, or not. There is a great deal of conflicting evidence. Musharraf may or may not have been behind Bhutto's assassination. It is not one of the likeliest explanations. Here's a brief excerpt from a Time article:

"There is no evidence to suggest that Musharraf or Pakistan's security forces were connected to the attack. On jihadi websites, al-Qaeda claimed the assassination was their work and intelligence officials in both Pakistan and the U.S. agree that Islamic extremists from al-Qaeda or the Taliban were probably responsible for the devastating attack.

The latter explanation is the most direct (Bhutto's secularism and popularity -
and femaleness are each a direct challenge to Islamic fundamentalist extremists), whereas Musharraf's involvement would be a bit Machiavellian (certainly not unlike him), and likely counterproductive.
