Let the Rioting Begin

There was a time just a few years ago when remarks like this from India's version of Jessica Simpson used to be funny, or at least cute. But now you never know what will trigger a killing spree.

NEW DELHI (AP) -- Indian actress Bipasha Basu blames the Afghan tradition of men greeting each other with kisses for the recent illness of her boyfriend, actor John Abraham. Abraham fell ill while filming in Afghanistan for his latest movie, "Kabul Express," in which he plays a television journalist covering the war against the Taliban. "John needs to be careful with his health," Basu, a top model-turned-movie star, told the Hindustan Times newspaper in an interview published Monday. "People there kiss your cheeks instead of (saying) hello. Infection does spread," she said.
