I have already read the article, and far from being "junk", I found it makes some pretty good points. For instance, "... Blaming [a city's/nation's problems] on immigrants makes about as little sense as swatting away a mosquito that is stinging you, instead of battling the boa constrictor that is intent on swallowing you. Except, of course, for one thing. Mosquitoes and boa constrictors are not convenient scapegoats; immigrants and minorities are. [...] ... making out that concerns and features of the "mainstream" -- whatever that may be -- must count above all else, that minorities and immigrants are to blame for all that's ill -- these are not just immoral or unjustified things to do. More important, they are utterly futile. They will not solve the problems that need solving. The fanatical supporters of Hindutva will do well to ruminate on this one. However, I suspect they already know all this. (At least most NRIs should be smart enough to figure it out). It is more likely that they are afraid that if they do acknowledge the above, they feel naked and they don't know what to do about it. Dipy.

Here is a joke I came across. {From Economic Times} ================================================================== Tuesday, July 21, 1998 Taliban raid European Commission's Kabul office KABUL: The European Commission's Kabul office was today raided and closed down by Taliban officials, local staff members here said. The European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO) -- the commission's emergency donor arm -- was hit by a militia raiding party late in the afternoon, the sources told AFP. "We told them we are not an NGO and that we have semi-diplomatic status but they didn't listen," explained a local staff member. "They locked everything up and took away the keys."
