Sources? She may not have been perfect, but the nastiest stuff I can find about her is some corruption allegations and supporting the Taliban back in the 80's. Shes done a lot for womens rights in Pakistan, as well as promoting democracy and all that jazz. As for her being widely believed to being the most ruthless dictator in all Asia, COMON! Are you seriously comparing corruption charges to Pol Pot killing 1/3rd of the Cambodian population or Mao's purges? Just because people think its a bad thing she died doesn't mean shes the best thing ever.
