Over-Estimating Bhutto

Thomas Barnett counsels against believing that the assassination changes that much:

Bhutto, despite our mythologizing of her past rule and future potential, was not going to fix Pakistan. As such, her passing matters only to the extent it creates short-term instability. But, in the end, I don't expect to change much about the correlation of forces right now in Pakistan.
