This charge and allegation of "servitude to the United States" arguably ensured her assassination, or at the very least, cemented her unpopularity amongst an extremist political segment of Pakistan. However, with the January parliamentary elections around the corner and the power sharing deal all but quashed by Musharraf, Bhutto changed her tune. In her final speech on the day of her assassination, she passionately declared, "Why should foreign troops come in? We can take care of this , I can take care of this, you can take care of this." Did this duplicitous, flip flop statement make Bhutto a Janus, a two headed Roman God, or was this a sincere change of conviction? Sadly, Pakistan will never know the answer.
