Reminds me of what Howie Carr said about a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan. "What's the down side?" (Sort of my view of a war between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, tell me who wins so we can kick their asses, good.)
If these people are dumb enough to riot over a story (raise your hand if you thought the folks in South Central LA were the brightest bulbs during the Rodney King riots!), they deserve what they got (and if you believe Newsweek 'killed' them... maybe you're hiding an ACLU "I'm a victim because someone hurt my feelings" card in your wallet?).
