Bhutto's Death Significant?

Many people have been talking about Benazir Bhutto's death, including some who don't normally talk global politics.  Like the aforementioned Boundless Line article says, it does look like an end-of-the-word type of headline.  I won't tout her as a savior in the war on terrorism, but she surely was a threat to someone - which is why they killed her. 

I don't know how significant her death is, however.  I am not nearly as affected by her death as much as the Jerusalem Post headlines saying that explosives were caught being shipped into the Gaza Strip.  Especially when combined with Bin Laden's latest message saying that he wants to expand his war to include Israel.

Our response should not be one of fear.  What we are to do is simple - pray for peace, mourn with those who mourn, and let our lights shine.
