let a country do what it needs to do - what right does an outsider have to occupy ?

your comments brought a few historical thoughts to my mind : - My dad (not alive anymore) was not a happy person when I became a citizen of New Zealand - his comment was - I fought to get rid of the Queen from India, and you now swear allegiance to the Queen. He was much happier when I told him I had become a US citizen. (didnt tell him I still retain my Kiwi citizenship - he did not need to know the complexities of dual citizenship) - No doubt the brits provided expertise in many areas to India - railways (India has the biggest rail system in the world now), telegraph etc. - None of the above negates the life of a person living under occupation by foreign powers. A common sign in those days at restaurants in India was "Dogs and Indians not allowed"
