I just skimmed this article, about the case of a detained US Citizen in Pakistan; but had to post the accompanying picture.
While I’m not familiar with the case, look at the above picture of the effigy. The sign says, “John Kerry and Obama.” All I can say is that protesters outside of the US seem to understand our media better than we do. Use English language signs and US media will cover the event (as long as it’s not a pro-life march).
For eight+ years, people have blamed President Bush. This photo suggests that at least some of them are looking for any scapegoat, including President Obama and Senator Kerry. It has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals and much to do with far more intricate sentiments.
Oh wait – I think I figured it out. Sarah Palin and the Tea Party have influenced/infiltrated the Pakistanis.
