The True Martyr

My definition of a martyr is one who gives up their life because of belief in their cause. Those that take their lives for a cause is a coward. The term is appropriate because anyone who choses not to live through obstacles of life deserves no accolades.
This is the difference between Benazir Bhutto and the coward suicide bomber that took her life. True martyrs die in battle as Ms. Bhutto did. She chose to come back to Pakistan after exile despite the threat to her person. She chose not to flee even after the first assassination attempt in October. She was a true warrior and may she rest in peace. Now the terrorist based nuclear Pakistan's chances for a democracy have been severely mitigated.
