The Indian intellectuals are winning minds and hearts of our nation and love and gratitude shown by everyone is unbelievable, the more I see that the more I believe the war is creation of political leadership not masses. I don’t see any iota of hatred or lack of love for the Indians or any thing that may give me slightest of indication that our call to bring Peace and love seminar with Indian intellectuals was wrong call rather a great call if any. The Army leadership like ex Chiefs and Corps commanders are all in attendance and we say things that extremists in India would not like to listen, the nicer and softer face of our nation is being portrayed. What a joy to see that, peace love and progress is the theme. Gupta says nations with MacDonald’s do not fight wars; remember on this pages I said nations with DD's don't fight war. As an agent of Dunkin, I have equal faith in the Cocas and my own Donuts and other global brands of the world that bring about a global culture, some call it US imperialism I call it clarion call of humanity to like same things and same tastes, it is not US imperialism it is some thing that works, it was missionaries and Christian charities in my nation that took Pakistan from the verge of stone age nation to a nation where millions like me have a dream and a vision of love, when a drop of single missionary is dropped today it is not like past that we ignore the mode of nation has changed. 11th Sept is date where new renaissance and era of enlightenment has benefited my at least nation to cut the shackles from dark ages and try to move on in new century of light, for that I have my very little role it is the people who lost their lives in that tragic incidence who should be credited for a wave of peace and compassion that has taken over most of the nice people in the world, I always said that 11th swept will change the world for better I strongly believe that worst of evil had to show the ugliest of the crime to take us out of complacency and that is what US is doing now, stopping these vermin’s to take the whole world hostage!! Complacency included the highhandedness of the head of the state when Osama was planning his evil act the sacred office was being used for immoral activities and appeasement, today many of these peace loving liberals like the old appeasement and riff raff policies to continue but peace can only come when nations are ready to eradicate terror with strength. Bush actions are right step in the right direction, Saddam and other pockets of instability cannot and shall not continue. Shape up or ship out, the message is clear that includes my nation too. These pages in last six years have helped to me to grow and help others to grow around me, again a direct result benefits of connected world, this connectivity has its perils and advantages nations of the worlds have tow choices to be a part of stone age or cyber age, it is all in mind if ideologically one wants to stay a citizen a particular nation he will with all material advantage live in stone age others even if materially slightly disadvantage pick the gauntlet and move to higher realms intellectually they will move on to live I world that offers challenges and opportunities, our job is to keep working hard ot make that little difference, we try our best that with our limitations we try ot make that difference ..so help us God, Amen
