Terrifying. theatlantic.com ----------------------------------------------------------- "We should fire at them and take out a few of their cities—Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta," he said. "They should fire back and take Karachi and Lahore. Kill off a hundred or two hundred million people. They should fire at us and it would all be over. They have acted so badly toward us; they have been so mean. We should teach them a lesson. It would teach all of us a lesson. There is no future here, and we need to start over. So many people think this. Have you been to the villages of Pakistan, the interior? There is nothing but dire poverty and pain. The children have no education; there is nothing to look forward to. Go into the villages, see the poverty. There is no drinking water. Small children without shoes walk miles for a drink of water. I go to the villages and I want to cry. My children have no future. None of the children of Pakistan have a future. We are surrounded by nothing but war and suffering. Millions should die away." "Pakistan should fire pre-emptively?" I asked. Aman nodded. "And you are willing to see your children die?" "Tens of thousands of people are dying in Kashmir, and the only superpower says nothing," Aman said. "America has sided with India because it has interests there." He told me he was willing to see his children be killed. He repeated that they didn't have any future—his children or any other children. I asked him if he thought he was alone in his thoughts, and Aman made it clear to me that he was not. "Believe me," he went on, "If I were in charge, I would have already done it." Aman stopped, as though he'd stunned even himself. Then he added, with quiet forcefulness, "Before I die, I hope I should see it."

You're pretty tolerant for an atheist. <g> I'm sure your respectful attitude is much appreciated. Actually, getting creeped out might be too strong a term. I just find it a trifle unseemly that secularist Straussians strongly encourage the masses to have faith, and display it publicly. I wonder what their motive is. They're a weird bunch anyway. They approach the reading of certain texts by assuming there are hidden meanings buried between the lines. The Prince is a favorite of theirs. They pore over that like its some kind of Rosetta Stone....
