#1 The Dixie Chicks, number one with a bullet, on the Northwest Frontier.

Hey, let's sit around making music all day long...

#2 Think the dimwits in NWFP notice that this music is winked at by the mullahs, while the rest is banned? Can you say propaganda? NO? Oh, sorry, educated in a madrassa huh?

#3 Actually, Pakistan isn't the only country exhibiting this phenomenon. Strangely, in South Korea, the anti-American song "F*cking USA" is still quite popular, although not quite as popular as it was at the beginning of this year. To read the English lyrics, visit this site.

#4 Marmot: I read those lyrics, I'm appalled.

disgraceful

If anti-US sentiment gets big in South Korea, I propose the US embark on a MASSIVE international media campaign to outline to the SKors that the US will not go where it isn't wanted, they can deal with NKor all by themselves.

Then move the US troops out overnight and watch Seoul crumple into a grey, dustfilled crater overnight.

Let the SKors have a lovely holiday eating grass and worshipping their new dear leader.

F*cking South Korea

ps: My last boyfriend was south korean and let me tell you: the Koreans are all loons, it is genetic. Just leave them to kill each other over their inflated sense of pride and mutant honour.

#5 Pretty sick, eh? I had to hear it 24 hours a day for the first two months of the year. Not the classiest expression of political grievence.

#6 I just read the NYT story about NKor refugees and while I guess it was intended to induce my sympathy, instead it convinced me that we should get out of South Korea now.

If you thought the unification of the Germanies caused headaches, the unification of Korea would be the migraine of all time. The NKors are totally brainwashed. Kids, 15, 16, who know nothing about us, hate the US and are hated by the SKors who deign to have contact with them.

After reading that story, I cannot think of a single reason why we care about Korea. Let them take care of their own problems. We don't need the problems nor them.
