Foreword We cannot let my mother's sacrifice be in vain You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea. -- Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Bilawal Bhutto Zardari My country mourns. And as my countrymen join me in personal grief over the loss of my mother, I join them in national grief over the loss of something even greater: the loss of Pakistan's greatest voice for democracy. Shaheed Benazir Bhutto's death, however, shall not have been in vain. We will go forward, as she would have wanted, and bring freedom and democracy to Pakistan. For those in my country who would find it easier to walk away from democracy and seek revenge through violence, I urge you to remember my mother's words: democracy is the sweetest revenge. To plunge the country into more violence and chaos would only play into the hands of those who hope for democracy's failure. The terrorists have no use for democracy, and the current government fears it. We must unite and rise above both. And to those outside of my country, who support our fight for democracy, I urge you to consider this: We cannot oppose one form of tyranny while turning a blind eye to another. Together, we must stand against the violence of the terrorists on the one hand, while standing equally firm against the regime’s use of it as an excuse to impose their own repressive will upon the people of Pakistan. The regime has made a mockery of our constitution. The world watched in disbelief as the regime declared emergency rule and sent troops into the streets in November – not because of a terrorist threat to the government, but a constitutional threat to their autocratic grip on power. The men they threw into jails were not terrorists but Supreme Court judges and respected lawyers. The newspapers they intimidated were not organs of terrorists but of free and independent citizens of Pakistan. My mother stood bravely against both the tyranny of terrorism as well as the tyranny of dictatorship. She has been martyred for her courage and pursuit of freedom, but now that courage and pursuit has been bequeathed to the people of Pakistan. We shall carry on. It will take the kind of courage my mother showed. It will take courage among her loyal followers to calm their anger and renounce violence or revenge. We must instead demand fair and open elections, free of government intimidation, and then make our show of force on election day. It will also take courage on the part of Pervez Musharraf and those who have supported his government, including those outside of Pakistan. With my country's judges and lawyers still in jail, its free media intimidated and silenced, and its political leaders unsafe to walk the streets, we cannot pretend to have free and open elections. There can be no legitimacy to elections held under such ominous conditions. Those who espouse the virtues of democracy cannot stand by idly and maintain their credibility while this repression continues.
