The Epicenter of Terrorism

A revised version of deceased Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's autobiography "Daughter of the East" has been released by Simon & Schuster, as per this link, and a new chapter has been added. Supposedly Bhutto writes there:
"I really do think that there is at least some degree of causality that most major terrorist attacks took place when the extremists did not have to deal with a democratic Pakistani government...this includes both the 1993 and 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Bombay blasts, the Indian Parliament attack, the attack on the US embassies in Africa and the USS Cole in Yemen."

The blame-America-only crowd (as found in the comments section on Glenn Greenwald's blog on salon.com) needs to think about that. The "but-that's-arch-rival-India's-propaganda-only" crowd need to ponder it too.
