Everytime I see Bhutto's son make a statement about his new role in the PPP, I have to fight off tears.

He's 19!

It's so incredibly fucked up I can't even process it.

I don't recall the photos I've seen of him, for some reason. Maybe it's because he looks young and fragile to you because of his looks?

Poor kid. It's bad enough to lose a parent to violence (homicide and suicide survivors' issues are in many ways very similiar), but add in the publicity and the politics and the very scary nuclear issue and...yes.

He's not fragile looking, but I'm probably reacting to the fact that when I've dated outside my ethnic group, it's almost always been with South-East Adians. There's something there I respond to.

He's on the right in the photo here:

Ahh, thanks! I have really bad facial recall - to the point I mix people up and forget them and get confused until I really get to know them. I remember his face now. You're right, he doesn't look fragile but he does look very young, and a tiny bit blindsided. Not that I blame him!
