INSIGNIFICANCE OF 9/11
It is nauseating to see the indians and pakistanis so worked up about the significance of 9/11 to the americans, the so called killing of the innocent civilians in a wantom act of terrorism. The great free country has demolished a few hundred thousand as revenge.
What is forgotten is that in the US 30,000 people are shot dead every year by their own fellow country men. It appears these are not innocent people killed by senseless violence simply because these are acts of fellow americans. It is pathetic to see the crocodile tears for the 9/11 victims while even the simplest acts to control guns are rejected in the backdrop of 30,000 bodies year after year.

nasah,
Is it a fault or matter of shame for ``Rice woman`` that she is ``great grand daughter of a slave``, or for that matter, are you insinuating that his great grand father became a slave due to something missing in him.
You may disagree with Rice. You must realize that impact of everything you wrote after this is lost due to ``daughter of a slave`` phrase.
Regards

[``The equivalent of Hindutva is the creation of Pakistan.``
Absolutely! Hindutvavadis are the true believers in the Two Nation Theory and would turn India into a mirror image of Pakistan. Gujarat, in that sense, could be equated to Jinnah`s Direct Action in Calcutta.]
Oh, dear!
Now you have gone and done it!
Yasser Latif Hamdani will never speak to you again!

“Flush from its Cold War victory, the mighty US military machine had diligently searched for new enemies. At best, success had been partial. Condoleezza Rice`s Foreign Affairs article from 2000 begins with this declaration: ``The United States has found it exceedingly difficult to define its `national interest` in the absence of Soviet power.”(Hoodbhoy)
Well Dr. Hoodbhoy -- I think that Rice woman -- the great grand daughter of a slave has finally FOUND the definition of -- US ‘national interest’ for her Master -- massa Bush the junior -–
it is spelled out in four phrases – Preemptive Strikes, -- Preemptive Invasions -- and Preemptive Regime Changes –- to avert Preemptive 9/11’s --
the Imperial Don Quixote of Texas -– from now on will be going after --All theWind Mills -- All over the World -- All the way – All Alone -- EXCEPT -- with the two trusted companions:
-- the British running dog Blair -- sniffing, raising the legs and marking the path all along -– and the Jewish Nazi court jester Sharon as the -- instigating Comic Relief – in this grim adventure.
now within the span of two years of the reign of this stupid pres9dent things have to such lowest depth for this great couny that -- a Justice Minister of German government -- compares Bush with Hitler – an outrageous claim for a German to make against an American –
but it tells you how grotesque this war mongering Texan kid Dubya looks to the outside world – beating hysterically the War Drums against the People of Iraq -- for NO apparent reason -- except to get ONE MAN -- out of his way -- that his murderous DADDY (500,000 Iraqis killed and buried alive) -- could not get out of -- HIS way.
after spending bilion of dollars of our tax money on this white elephant -- CIA -- we still can`t take out -- ONE MAN -- but we WILL burn down the whole BARN to find just -- ONE infeced NEEDLE --
now that`s sheer impotent arrogant cruel madness.

arjun mian,
Why this ferocious determination to show Pakistan in bad light? I think most Pakistanis understand these issues. They also understand that despite the ``advances`` we Indians have made, we still are, like them, a rag-tag bunch of nobodys leading a hand-to-mouth existence for the most part.
I mean, it`s not like we have conquered the bloody universe, arjun bhai!

``On the other hand, Hindutva ``brigade`` does include some real violent thugs who are out and out evil``
If only it was possible to send these evil beings to kill leaders and ordinary people in Pakistan continuously for 10-15 years. Then perhaps Pakistanis will understand exactly the essential similarities and differences between Hindutva practitioners and jihadis.
