"I learned to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" years before I could sing the Pakistani national anthem." Where do they find those people? Where do they find those fabricators who specialize in saying what their WP and NYT editors want them to say? You want me to believe that this Pakistani fellow really learned to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner?" I mean if the Star-Spangled Banner" is a catchy tune, I would have probably--NOT--believed him. But this particular song? Who do you think you are fooling--other than the editors of the Washington Post. I just returned from Pakistan and and can easily tell you--at the risk of generalization--that the young people of Pakistan are certainly not learning to sign The Star-Spangled Banner."
