Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s death thins Pakistan’s already meager ranks of charismatic civilian politicians just as the country had begun a treacherous passage toward restoring some form of democratic government, Pakistani and American analysts said. And it raises the specter of prolonged political conflict between Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, and the country’s opposition.

“I see a lot more trouble for Musharraf in the near future,” said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a leading Pakistani political analyst.

Oh, really?
