What racist slander! Clearly, the Pakistani people are celebrating Bhutto's 
death, only through racist Western eyes, these celebrations of freedom are 
called "chaos" and "riots." Take it from me, it's just racist, and if you 
don't think so, go watch some more MSNBC.

Err, gotta run. Pizza and hot wings just arrived.
