My mistake in the last post. I meant to say that the people were driven to seek more security from the state rather than freedom...
India should hand over land for peace to Islam
Clearly that is the best and only workable strategy. Purge New Delhi or Bangalore or Hyderabad of all Hindus and make it an Islamic city. Terrorism will all end immediately as a result.
This is the usual sarcastic propaganda lie, intended to discredit any approach to dealing with these disorders other than the mindless, brutal, and self-destructive approach preferred by neoconservatives. Such propaganda comprises a complex of lies because simple and straightforward lies are too easily discredited.
It might still work for nutjobs like Rush Limbaugh, but here it's just a subject for the analysis of fascist misinformation and disinformation techniques.
I'll leave the detailed deconstruction of such lies to the interested reader.
Thanks for playing, neocon.
We want to be just because that is who we want to be as a people, not because it will end terrorist attacks.
It's a lot more likely to do so than being unjust.
And it's not a binary proposition: ending terrorist attacks or having them continue.
It's a question of how likely they are, how easy it is to recruit and find sympathy for those aims.
And our faults are no excuse for the terrorist attacks in India.
Who said otherwise?

Let's get together soon. Let's drink Czech ales.
Thanks for taking Michael to the Baltimore gigs.
Let's talk about the old Mayor Schafer? Kennedy?
Curren Vegetables LTD was sounding too fancy.
Blueberry Hill Vegetable Farm? more boondocks.
I'll show Pedinska the old farm signs if she visit.
There is no safety net in India for bereaved families who lose their bread-winners to acts of terrorism. Do those families, with legitimate grief, anger and reasons to be vengeful, turn to extremism?
WashingtonDC likes to dress itself in the finery of words,phrases and platitudes well enough and often. When we invade Iraq and stay on as occupier Americans choose words and paragraphs of noble and self justifying phrases to make what we do/did seem so upright and being done for best of thinking and reasoning.
But it was not that. It is not this. It is a weaved fabric of lies,misrepresenations and misdirections that were either China or Russia to have stated for and in doing to Iraq what Americans did would have been quickly denounced and mocked.
Today and then yesterday as well two articles were presented at www.zmag.org at the znet site found there. Both have direct bearing on the convenience of American revisionism as worked on Israels behalf and then too Israels pathetic ongoing claims of being a moral agent when it surely is anything but moral or ethical or justified to claim any such thing.
Where is the outrage to be found in American political media over Israels ongoing conduct in Gaza? Where is WashingtonDCs outrage? After reading these two articles at Znet I am given reason to thrust them in Barack Obama's face and push them into his hands. How can he condone this? Why would he condone it knowing full well just how rotted WashingtonDC and Israel are in this stench of mutual conduct and cover-over?
One article was written by Sonja Karkar and is titled 'Gaza'a Death Throes And No One Is Listening' found under the 11/28 entries heading at znet.
The other article was written by Stephen Lendman and is titled 'Slow Motion Genocide In Occupied Palestine' found under the 11/27 entries heading at znet.
Both articles plainly underline what GG is describing above regarding conduct that recuses/excuses itself and demonstrates a hollowness of integrity and false claim to validity that was cause proven enough to put Nazi and Imperial Japanese war criminals to death.
The mockery of WashingtonDC for the words and actions it uses to subvert and divert integrity of reason and purpose while claiming to be the 'agent of good' is surely the same infested moral depravity Israel is alloted by this corrupted WashingtonDC.
Americans should be ashamed of what is done in our name for the most corrupted and rotted of reasons and desires.
G.W.Bush and Richard Cheney should be facing some very severe legal uptake on Jan.21,2009. Instead both will walk off into the fraud and lies of false accolades.
The word pathetic becomes inadequate in description of this state of affairs being so.
and Indians subsequently elected a Sikh Prime Minister, who leads today.
However, for several years after the assassination, Sikhs in India were persecuted, and left in droves for greener pastures in Canada, Australia, UK, South America, etc.; pretty much anywhere diasporic people landed up - although recently Sikhs have been much less welcome in the US due to their turbans. I've listened to a retired US Army major rant about "Arabs at the airport" - because he saw a few Sikh families checking in. He was trying to make people at a party afraid of this "threat" to justify the invasion of Iraq. Really.
To Glenn's excellent point - the knee-jerk reaction to punish any and all members of an identifiable group for the bad actions of a few is human and natural. But true leadership transcends, and helps people transcend the ape-world emotional response with respect for the LAW. And unlike the crew of crooks in charge of the US Government, and apparently the US Military as well, true leadership requires honesty. Not more self-serving lies.
The worst part of it is this retired major is spreading hatred and lies and destruction on my fucking nickel. This is hard to forgive. But not as hard to forgive (only if repented of) as it was for Indian Hindus to elect a Sikh.

Incompetence and appeasement
Yeah - they're all a bunch of Neville Chamberlains.
Those Muslims need an iron fist - that's the only language they understand.
Everything you're posting and praising is exactly the mentality that neocons spread after 9/11.
There's a reason why your Truth is found on the Op-Ed page of the Wall St. Journal.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
