Hundreds of mainly Christian Pakistani Schollchildren Pray
For Kerry win.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan Hundreds of Pakistani schoolchildren have held a prayer rally today for their favorite candidate -- John Kerry.

The mainly Christian schoolchildren chanted slogans and held up banners as they marched through a street in the capital, Islamabad. Their signs read: "Peace cannot be won through war, try Kerry," and "Truthful John Kerry better for Pakistan."

Officially, the country hasn't stated who it supports, although some leaders say they hope Bush wins. Pakistan has received (b) billions of dollars in aid from Washington as part of the war against terror.

Officials say the country's fight against terrorism will not be affected by the election's outcome.

1. Al Qaeda loves to target this minority. They also try to cause a civil war
by bombing churches and Shi'ite Mosques in Sunni dominated Pakistan. The hope of course is that by destabilizing the central government, they can takeover control and the nuclear arsenal.
