With the assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, the US presidential hopefuls, who are battling for political advantage in the nominating contest, have changed their focus overseas to the Middle East.
Domestic issues have dominated the campaign thus far, but the dastardly act in Pakistan has thrust foreign policy back onto the agenda and each candidate is vying for the spotlight to be able to explain his or her foreign policy experience or lack of experience with all candidates admitting Bhutto's assassination does change the complexion of the presidential nominating process. Polls indicate a tight race in both the Democratic and Republican party primaries or caucuses with all candidates recognizing that it is a tough world out there.
