AP Photo: Setting fire to a Pakistani KFC to protest Muhammad cartoons |
|
Smoke erupts from burning U.S. fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) restaurant, set on fire by angry mob, Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2006 in Lahore, Pakistan. Thousands of protesters rampaged through two Pakistani cities, storming into a diplomatic district, setting fire to Western businesses and a local government building in the country's worst wave of violence against the Prophet Muhammad cartoons, officials said. At least two people were killed and 11 injured. (AP Photo/K. M. Chaudhry)

Look at the destruction. These people are serious. When is the Bush administration going to figure that out? I've read that Kentucky Fried chicken stores are very vulnerable worldwide. They are an easy target and they have been bombed lots of times.
We all believe Bush is the best friend a corporation could ever have. We've read articles about how the corporation benefits, but the individual gets shafted. But is it true? I've read that Bush has, in fact, MADE THINGS WORSE for corporations. They've become so hated around the world, that people are boycotting them and even bombing them.
Bush - the ultimate loser.

the cartoons are being used only as an excuse. Check out the political situation in Pakistan, especially among the smaller fundamentalist parties. They are riding this bruhaha for all its worth to further their own agenda.
