I know its just a wrestling angle, but its funny how stuff like this can be a window into reality, sad reality, but reality nonetheless.

I agree. I absolutely hate it when the WWE "faces" given airtime completely agree with the crowd as well. They showed footage of the French President and George Bush shaking hands and JR acted like "It's good to see the French make up for being cowards and not helping with the war.". This pissed me off to no end, I felt like throwing a brick at my TV. Why should France help with America's hissy-fit? And don't get me stared when Bubba Ray goes "We hate them because they're French!", as if that was a completely justifiable reason (I really don't think that's what Bubba Ray thought, but it just came out really wrong).
Anyway if the fans boo I will really be saddened. Maybe they could have a translator come in and reveal that Khasrow wasn't cursing America, but praising it, which then forces the RAW fans, etc. to "apologize" to Muhammad Hassan. Then we can see a heel turn. It isn't a "We hate America so you hate us" gimmick, it's more of a "You hate us, so we hate you" gimmick.
