Borat is showing how stupid it is to be a racist, a bigot, a jerk, etc...(whether or not you come from the USA or from Kazakhstan)

I'm not disagreeing with that, or criticising that. But I don't think pulling Kazakhstan into it was either fair or necessary.

I find myself agreeing with Kazakhs who have indicated that they think he did "cross the line". And Little Hawk's comment in response to my suggestion that Cohen might try taking the act on tour in Kazakhstan - "I doubt that he is that reckless..." indicates a recognition that this isn't just a matter of politicians making political points. (Actually I think it is quite likely that he will pay a visit to Kazakhstan before that long, though perhaps not "in character".)
