Why is Benazir Bhutto famous?

Because she estranged herself with too many people at the same time : the Taliban, Pakistani 'Jihadi' fundamentalists and also certain radical elements within the all powerful Pakistani ISI and Pakistani Armed Forces. Benazir Bhutto albeit the choice of the 'Western' governments to drive Pakistan along the democratic path, did not enjoy uncontested support among her countrymen. She was continually dogged by corruption-charges during her two previous stints as Prime-Minister of Pakistan. In South Asia, she was widely known as the public-face of her kleptocratic regime. Benazir Bhutto and her husband Asif Ali Zardari faced a number of legal proceedings including a conviction for money laundering through Swiss banks. Her husband was famously known as "Mr. 10 percent". Jemima Khan Goldsmith (ex-wife of Pakistan skipper Imran Khan) famously described Benazir Bhutto as "the Kleptocrat in an Hermes Headscarf". Benazir Bhutto's poor track-record as Prime-Minister associated with her pro-Western attitude made her deeply unpopular among the Pakistani electorate especially in rural and tribal-areas bordering Afghanistan and Iran. It must be noted that Benazir Bhutto seriously under-estimated the strength of her political rivals, fundamentalist enemies and over-estimated the ability of General Pervez Musharraf to provide her with efficient and fool-proof security. Given the numerous opponents that she had within Pakistan, it was unwise of her to have attempted to stay in Pakistan and attend political gatherings where her personal security is bound to be difficult to guarantee. In fine, her poor judgment of the current pre-electoral political and security situation in Pakistan put her in the path of harm's way and eventually got her killed.
