> I really don't think NS robbed BB of anything. NS is not a recognized World
> leader, and was not a Prime Minister during his visit, the only reason why he went
> to Bosnia was to muster support at home. BB on the other hand is know by people
> all over the world (those who know anything about Pakistan), but more importantly
> she went as the Prime Minister of Pakistan, so her impact on the international
> arena was far greater than by NS. At the same time she also bagged points at
> home.

> BB along with Ms Tansu Ciller, were more effective in drawing the WORLDS attention
> towards Sarajevo's plight, in the final Analysis that is more important to the
> Bosanian people then the question of who scored the most Propoganda points.
