“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.” — Benazir Bhutto

What Was I Thinking? 
Once learned, an idea can not be unlearned.
I love you Miss Susie. Happy Sunday to you.
CK’s setting the bar high, starting off with a quote of her own. I have no quotes to offer–sorry. But I do wish you a happy Sunday and a happy New Year!
No quotes here either, but a very happy and peaceful new year.
I can only hope that like Martin Luther King, Jr., Ms. Bhutto’s life will be rendered the more powerful by virtue of her untimely and inexcusable death.
Happy Sunday, Susie!
ck, for better and for worse, there is a lot of truth in that. What are you, planning to be a wise guy in the new year? đŸ˜‰ I love you, too, my sweet, wise friend.
shawkey, thank you, and I wish you the same.
ern, right backatcha.
shari, amen. And Happy Sunday to you.
As always, Happy Sunday to you, susie.
Happy Sunday and Happy New Year Susie.
“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”
—Victor Hugo
Benazir Bhutto was a great woman whose ideas will live on.
Thanks for the quote and for giving us, as always, food for thought.
Happy Sunday Susie! This quote brought a tear to my eye. Let’s hope 2008 is more peaceful-even just a little bit.
Yes, they can assassinate a person, but a quote is too powerful to kill. Excellent quote.
Happy Sunday, sis!
what they said. keep on keeping the peace, Madame Susie!
I have no quotes and I’ve purposely avoided the news since my vacation began so I am not up to speed on much of this. That said, thank you for the quote from that brave woman and thank you for being you. Happy Sunday Susie. Happy New Year as well. I love you.
Since I am so far out of the loop, I will say that I knew nothing about Benazir Bhutto until her death. However, that is one righteous quote right there.
My problem is that my ideas tend to get me into trouble. I have a bad brain.
Happy Sunday Susie. Great quote. Stumpy and I were in London when we heard the news – there’s a large Pakistani community so their grief was palpable. I hope her words live on.
Wishing you the Best New Year possible Susie! You deserve all that you hope & pray for this new year. Donna
Just a little tidbit I picked up at one of my recent family gatherings… đŸ™‚
Wishing you a Happy New Year, Susie. I haven’t come up with a theory on Benazir Bhutto yet, but I’m sure I will.
Most appropriate, Susie.
I have been observing the tragedies that have come to her family for almost thirty years. When she returned to Pakistan, I feared she would be assassinated—even after the assignation attempt on the day she arrived failed. My gut feeling tells me that the Taliban is not responsible for her death; if I were investigating her assassination, I would begin with the Musharraf régime.
That last comment was from me. Alex just took credit for it. SIlly cat.
and happy Monday, htgt
happy both to you, too, william the writer
ortizzle, thank you for the quote, too.
kranki, yes, I join you in that hope.
squirl, yes. Thank you for calling to mind the power of words. Ideas without words . . . we’d never know of them, except our own.
operagal, you, too. I shall try to keep it, every time I get my hands (heart, mind) on it.
traci, I love you, too. And I wish you a wonderful New Year.
bone, I’ve seen (a little bit) of your brain. It’s so not bad. I wish you a steel-belted radialish, blimpy New Year đŸ™‚
donnajo, not entirely sure I deserve it, but I sure do want it. Thank you for being out there for me.
ck, hey, that’s better than strep, which I think LG picked up.
karen, I’ll look forward to it. The theory, that is. The New Year, I gotta say, I’m a little suspicious of, given recent history. I hope you and yours have a very good 2008.
nick and alex, I’m sure you know more about her history. I remember many years ago, reading about her in Time, and thinking how beautiful she was. More recently, I, like you, thought she would be killed soon. And like you, I would begin an investigation at the top. And I told him as much to his face, on my TV screen.
Maybe so, Susie, but there’s no cure for finding out which relative goes around ‘commando’…
I sure hope LG is feeling better soon.
ck, PWAHAHAHAAAA! I already know that in my family. It’s me.
(LG is doing better today.)
Happy Monday ~ I love the quote. Wishing you a healthy New Year.
Only if I get to fly the blimp. Considering my flight simulator skills, I successfully land the plane 20% of the time. The other 80? Not so much.
