At least I gave you something to read. I didn't claim originality, and I called the articles "interesting" so that I could link to them without necessarily agreeing with them in full.
I think that Bhutto was seen in the West primarily through the lens of her having gone to Harvard and Oxford, and that as such we had little sense of what she meant in Pakistan. George W. Bush is no more guilty of this than anyone else, and probably less so. OTOH, he seems to place great significance on personal relationships with foreign leaders like Musharref, and can be faulted for the extent to which our policy towards Pakistan has focused around personalities like those two.
