Quite the opposite. His murder allowed the left to drive more and more concessions to 'peace' which made Israel look weak and spurred on more terrorism, not less. Rabin was trying to get peace from a position of strength. The current government is trying to get peace from a position of bribery. We'll give you all of Gaza, evict every Jew from it, give you control over the crossings and all we want is peace. Result? Rocket attacks every day. His death also allowed the far left (peace now, etc.) to demonize anyone on the right or anyone religious, causing more strife between Israel's population.
But lets not go off into another Israel tangent when the thread is about Bhutto. If we're going off into a tangent, lets spawn a new thread.
