This is nothing more than radical Islam trying to toss Musharaff out and getting the prize of an Islamic Nuke.

And these are students. If anyone has even a clue as to what a free press means, it should be students. Their active participation bodes even worse for the future than the earlier violence.

About 10 years ago, India beat Pakistan in the Wills World Cup in Cricket.
The Pakies rioted and demanded the cricket team be charged with treason.

THE LATEST........CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The lawyer shot by Vice President Dick Cheney during a hunting accident is expected to stay in the hospital for about a week after suffering a mild heart attack when a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart.


Harry Whittington, who was moved back to the intensive care unit Tuesday after the heart attack, will be watched to make sure more metal pellets do not reach other vital organs, hospital officials said. The 78-year-old was reported in stable condition.

IIRC, these are not the kind of students you are thinking of...these are madrassah students (future terrorists).

Oh, they can toss Musharaf out and get a nuke alrighty... but it's more likely to say "Made in U.S.A" on it.

From the same article:
In Peshawar, a bullet fired by a demonstrator hit an 8-year old boy in the face, killing him, said Shahid Khan, a police officer. A 25-year-old man died when he was hit by an electric cable that was snapped by gunfire from protesters, said the man's cousin, Jehangir Khan.
And all that because of some friggin cartoons. Unbelievable.
At least 45 others were being treated for injuries at two state-run hospitals.
Oh, but they were only treated with camel dung, as promised, right?

That is the most perfectly succint cartoon yet! It should be reprinted in every newspaper in America.
Religions are a lot like trees. You judge the health of a tree by the fruit it produces. The tree of Islam produces rotten nuts.
