I've been thinking some more about the death of Benazir Bhutto. And while now there are conflicting reports as to what actually caused her death (was it bullets or explosion?), it has very little to do with my proposition.
Do you remember when Pope John Paul II was shot? I do. And afterwards they covered the Popemobile.
When Benazir Bhutto emerged through the sunroof of her armoured vehicle, she became the most vulnerable (and in fact when she was shot). With her death, I think we should start asking our politicians to start riding around in some version of the Popemobile. While there are things it probably wouldn't protect a person from, at least there would be some protection from the majority of extremists. This way the pol could still be visible to the crowd and try to connect and be reasonably sure of safety.
