PAK-ING HEAT:Protesters torch a US flag in Lahore yesterday
Old Glory strikes back.
In an apparent case of red, white and blue revenge, a Pakistani protester died yesterday after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag during an anti-US rally.
Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city’s Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.
Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported.

Darn good idea. All of our flags should be treated to create dangerous fumes when burned. Just put a warning lable on the tag and let people burn them at their own risk.
Hahaha. Actually I read a comment today that said, don’t be surprised if the Islams start claiming we did do such a thing. Hey, why not? Every flag that goes out of this country should be treated with some agent that makes them fire proof, yet released poisonous fumes if flame is held to the fabric for more than a few moments.
