I understand your perspective. I have a different opinion. So, we'll have to agree to disagree. Without getting into religious debates, compare the composition of the indian population, with the pakistani population. then compare 'undesirable events' in both places. then compare 'how much of it is publicly available info'. It is hard to hide info in a democratic society.

You are combative tonight. I enjoyed and learned from the article you posted. In fact, read it this afternoon in the magazine. How in the world you think it raises the moral equivalency issue befuddles me. And why you would ever think responding to this would reach racist proportions also leaves me befuddled. Would one have been racist to criticize these same tactics in the Germany of the 30s? Don't think so. Very puzzled.

Hi LindyBill; Re: "Nothing we have done, nothing, compares." Yeah, thank God for the Americans, Australians, Canadians and British. The Germans ran the Holocaust. The Russians had Stalin. The French ran the streets 4" deep with guillotine blood. The Italians played with people's lives in the Colloseum. The Mexicans slaughtered the people in the Alamo. Of all the people in the world, it is only the English speakers that are truly moral. Most foreign languages don't have a word that directly translates into "truth". -- Carl P.S. Whenever we've done stuff like killing civilians, we have always had a good reason for it.
