The Iron Lady of Pakistan

Former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto waves to her supporters during an election campaign rally in Hassan Abdal, 35 kilometers (22 miles) west of Islamabad, 26 December 2007. Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto took her election campaign to the heartland of Pakistan's militants, whose wave of violence has threatened to destablise this nuclear-armed nation. With just two weeks to go before the January 8 polls for parliament, which militants have vowed to disrupt, the two-time former premier again lashed out at President Pervez Musharraf over his handling of the bloodshed.

Benazir broke with tradition by trying to keep their wedding simple. She eliminated the dowry, had only two shalwar kameez instead of the traditional nearly 51 dresses and wore only one layer of jewelry. Benazir wore a white silk tunic with gold-embroidery. Asif wore a turban and a cream-colored tunic. Asif and Benazir and their families had several days of celebration. The couple said 'yes' three times, and at their wedding ceremony Benazir and Asif looked into a mirror together so they could see themselves as a married couple for the first time. Sugar was ground over their heads so their lives would be sweet. In the streets after their wedding there were 100,000 political supporters dancing, singing, firing guns in the air, and enjoying fireworks. (Photo by Reza/Getty Image
