A few thousand lives, murdered every couple of years in ethnic cleansing rituals, is something America would never "live with" in todays day and age. Indians who share that attitude are creating the environment for a future Bosnia to occur.

Yep, a few thousand lives are lost, but thats peanuts compared to a population of 1B. Indians and pakistanis have learned to "live with it" over the years. You know, Kumar, I've seen you write this before and each time I see it, I like it less. The USA has about 1/4 the population of India, so does that mean that when I read something like the following: ...dubbed the carnage that ensued from the next day as a justified "reaction". It left more than 700 killed, with the numbers still mounting, and tens of thousands homeless that it would mean that if we had a a proportionally similar incident of 700/4 = 175 lynchings in one day, that we should "just learn to live with it?" We should be seeing whole groups of people from both sides arrested and imprisoned. It sounds like a failed democracy to me. No thanks. --fl
