    6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Benazir Bhutto, Former Pakistan Prime Minister and Leader of Pakistan People's Party:
    "I feel very very emotional coming back to my country. I dreamt of this day for so many months and years. I counted the hours, I counted the minutes and the seconds, just to see this land, to see the grass, to see the sky. I feel so emotionally overwhelmed. I came down the stairs and the airline trade union was there to welcome me, and they waved their hands and I was just overwhelmed. And I hope that I can live up to the great expectations which people here have. And I feel so proud of the people of Pakistan, I feel so very proud of them. It hurts us when people say, the terrorists who come, whether they are bombing tubes in London, or whether they are plotting plots in Germany or doing things in other countries, (and) have their trail leading back (to Pakistan). That is not the real image of Pakistan. The people that you see outside are the real image of Pakistan. These are the decent hard working middle classes and working classes of Pakistan, who want to be empowered so they can build a moderate modern nation where everybody has equality. This is the real Pakistan and if we get democracy, this is the face of Pakistan the world will see. Not the face of the extremists who have thrived under dictatorships."

    14. SOUNDBITE: (English) Benazir Bhutto, Former Pakistan Prime Minister and Leader of Pakistan People's Party:
    "It's a very difficult question. My own impression is that is the court did not stop his election, it's unlikely to stop the results of that election. But you can't say so we will have to wait and see."
    (Reporter Question: Do you think he will stick to his promise and shed his uniform if he officially announced president?)
    "It's very important for General Musharraf to retire as chief of army staff, it's important if we want to move the country towards democracy. Having a military ruler blurs the distinction between democracy and dictatorship. And we have seen that the blurring of this distinction has led to chaotic situation within the country."
