During her time as Prime Minister she was racked with scandal and political intrigue, and after she lost her struggle to remain PM she went into exile, where I believe she was able to see what really mattered--not her own agenda and interests, but the rights of the Pakistani people to live free and follow democratic principles. She was a flawed politician who came around to seeing that though she was from a political family, that did not entitle her to being a leader--only the will of her people could do that. In the end she was a fine example of someone who was strong, courageous and resilient...for all the right reasons this time.
