Benazir Bhutto, the exiled former prime minister of Pakistan, discussed global issues, Sept. 11 and acceptance during her address Wednesday at Fall Convocation.

"I return to America one year after the terrible tragedy of [Sept. 11]," Bhutto said during her speech, "Democracy: The Never Ending Battle."

The effects of the terrorist attacks "still reverberate across the world," she said to the filled Alumni Gym.

When naming the many victims, real and abstract, of Sept. 11, Bhutto described the image of the Islamic people and democracy. "Democracy was sacrificed for expediency in Pakistan," she said. "The world is a very different place from what we dreamed in the time after the Berlin Wall."
