Knee jerk: Blame the U.S./Bush

It was inevitable that pundits and editorial writers who work for major newspapers and television networks would respond to the Bhutto assassination by blaming Bush and the U.S. It's something such pundits and editorial writers do, even if it's illogical, as in the case of the Bhutto assassination.

There was always a risk of an assassination -- if not Bhutto then Musharaff. In that part of the world, life is cheap and dangers are many. The U.S. had to accept the assassination risk because it had no choice.
