I am Canadian. I was born in Canada. I was raised in Canada. I am of Indian heritage. My parents were born in India. Living in Canada does make me an expert on the United States because I can feel the hatred in your blood too my friend. I do not "hate" Americans. I have many American friends who are good hardworking people. Just like me. I am sure that most Americans, as I have eluded to in the past, want the truth from their government. Your government is not telling the whole story. That is it. So, instead of getting angry, do your homework, and get the facts and please enlighten me. I need to know more and also to KNOW if I have made an incorrect statement based on fact or emotion. I welcome anyone here to correct anything I said but please back it up with fact. Yes, I have been to India and I have relatives who went through the British occupation and wars with Pakistan and China. They understand the region. I never claimed to be an expert. But you seem to have one sided views. I agree, hundreds of years ago, almost a thousand, the Muslims did kill many Hindus. But just remember that the Hindu philosophy of caste has also exterminated other Hindus due to their social status. Sikhism was formed as a direct protest to the caste system and based many of its beliefs from Islam, as well Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism. When political elements are not involved, Sikhism is an ideal religion where everyone is welcome for different views and beliefs. Maybe you should convert to Sikhism. truth

from Janes.com June 17, 2002 Syria is preparing to start production of a new extended-range version of its 'Scud C' ballistic missile, according to US and Israeli defense officials. The assembly line for the weapon has been completed and it is expected that up to 30 missiles a year could be produced. Israel's neighbour has received technical assistance from North Korea and Iran is also believed to be providing liquid-fuel technology and material. The new version was flight-tested only once, in September 2000, when it completed a successful launch. The missile has a range of 450 miles, through extra fuel carried in the increased diameter fuselage. It is also capable of carrying a 1,500 pound warhead that separates after burn-out, allowing for greater stability and improved accuracy. It has been designed to carry biological and chemical weapons, although Syria currently does not produce biological agents.
