WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department is warning Americans to avoid non-essential travel to Pakistan as protests over an anti-Islam video grow and turn violent. The department issued an alert Thursday. It's stepping up existing advice for Americans to be aware of the risks of travel to Pakistan and said they should defer all non-essential travel to the country. It says protests and demonstrations, some targeting U.S. interests, are likely to continue.

At least until the benevolent sightless leader is released and brings peace upon the Earth.

They just refuse to give the news the way it is don't they.

Oh I forgot, they have a POTUS candidate to reelect.

Anyone dumb enough to travel to Pakistan, would probably try something as stupid as say, hiking in the mountains between Iran & Iraq!

Who would do something that dumb??!

[hadaclueonce]

Watch “Black Hawk Down,” Pakistan has been playing both sides for decades.

[Houghton M.]

I don’t see what the problem is, if one takes care to pronounce the name properly, as our Dear Reader has shown us. Surely they would make nice to us, if we just pronounce the name right, no??

Wouldn't ya know it? Now I've got to cancel my "Dream Vacation!" Of all the terrible luck...

During an extended visit to the U.S., a Pakistani goes to the doctor because he just simply doesn't feel good. He's tired, his stomach is upset, he has a headache. Just feels terrible. The doctor checks him over and can't find any medical reason for him to feel the way he does. He offers a Naturotherapy approach that he has seen work before. The Pakistani man is stunned, though, that the treatment means he has to go home, defecate and urinate into a plastic bag and leave it in his basement for a week. "Trust me," the doctor says, "I have seen this work." The man goes home and follows through on the instructions. Within a day, though his house smells terrible and by the end of the week, it is an overwhelming stench. His eyes water every time he walks in the door, but he feels no better. He calls to yell at the doctor who calmly says,"Go down and take three big deep breaths directly from the bag and you will be cured." "You're crazy!" comes the reply. "Trust me," says the doctor. Down he goes into the basement and he takes the first breath. Gagging and choking, he does it again. Then, on the third breath, he feels the headache leave. His stomach settles and he feels amazingly well. The stench is even tolerable. He calls the doctor to tell him the good news. "I told you I've seen this work with people from Pakistan before," says the doctor. "You were just homesick!"

Because they are a liberal?

Because they are a liberal?

I'll bet if someone did a political survey on candidates for the Darwin Award, 90% of the contenders would most probably be liberals! And the other 10% would probably be lying!
