India, run by militant Hindu nationalists, who abet pogroms against Muslims, and raze mosques. And have been waging war against Muslims for decades, in Kashmir. Why did anybody think it would be a good idea, having their soldiers patrol the streets of Baghdad?

I'll put this kindly as I can: You don't have any idea as to what you're talking about. The coalition currently running the Indian government does occassionally pander to militant Hindu elements, but on the whole its policies aren't dictated by these elements any more than American policies are dictated by those religious conservatives who want to eliminate the seperation of church and state, or Israel's policies by ultra-Zionists intent on holding onto Greater Israel forever by means of evicting the Palestinians. Did you know that India's current President happens to be a Muslim? I won't even bother to deal with your line about Kashmir.

You often seem taken aback by the hostile responses your comments elicit. Perhaps the language in some of these responses was unjustified, but when you fire pot-shots like these, you really shouldn't act surprised when someone eventually responds with a flamethrower.
