The demise of Bhutto-land

When the politicians are corrupt, this is the result:

When Benazir was assassinated, the mantle of the leadership of the PPP automatically passed onto her son Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari. 
PPP is the political party founded by Benazir's father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
On transit, the mantle of leadership fell on the shoulder of her husband, Zardari, the President of Pakistan. He was unfortunately bedeviled by accusations of corruption.
In fact, Benazir herself was formally charged for corruption.
It would seem that there is a chance that by continuing corruption of the PPP the Bhutto's hold on their fiefdom might be lost.
Let us all hope so.
The Bhuttos were a very rich land owning family in the Sindh province of Pakistan. 
All are finely English educated. From grandfather, daughter to grandson they were all graduates of Oxford University.
