The oldest daughter of Pakistan's assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a combination of gunfire and suicide bombing at a rally last year, has written and recorded a rap-infused song expressing the pain over her mother's death. The album, "I Would Take the Pain Away," and a five-minute video of clips and photographs of Benazir Bhutto has made its way to YouTube. Lyrics include:
My mother was murdered. I don't even comprehend. Was it worth dying for? I'm walking through screened doors. . . . No comfort or ease. I'm begging you please God bless the deceased.
Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, 18, is a student at Britain's Edinburgh University.

I know Bhutto grew up in a political family that had endured past assassinations - but as a mom, I can't get my head around the idea that anything is more important than living for your children. Once they're adults, fine do what you will but until then, I just can't see it.
