Sure, go ahead by all means, but it has no relevance here. India is full of problems, no denying that. It doesn't concern me in any way, I am a US citizen so what goes on here affects me more than what happens in India. India's problems are being dealt by them and with all problems, it manages to rise as the fourth largest economy with second highest number of billionaires after US including one of them who is at the top of the list and whose wealth is more than combined number of billionaires from China. Or the fact that there are more entrepreneurs coming up daily than China. Sure there are problems, but then the whole world is full of problems and I can bring on a pile of them. Would this tit for tat action solve US's problems, don't think so.

Plenty of rivalry in Inia. That would exist whether or not we chose to unilaterally invade and try to mold a country that was certain, for the most part, to resent our intrusion.

Said rivalry is not uncommon among people who live side by side and competer for resources. We don't live near Iraq but we do compete for their resources.

When all is said and done, I'd say that the violence in India is much more unavoidable than our incursion into Iraq.

Nothing to do with race, read the article on the thread about the Lobby I posted, denying truth behind a flag and race wont' work anymore, many today are getting aware and and seeing beyond that unless they are behind a curtain of weed smoke.

We're not, and we are.

Why do you take it personally and start a flag waving Star Spangled Banner tirade? These are issues to be concerned about and discussed, last time I checked, this was a forums. All kinds of pressing issues social or otherwise gets posted here and why did you bring in India anyway, is it because I am Indian?

And, like, your sig says "India" on it. I assume(silly me) that means you either live there, are from there, or favor it there.

This post is certainly not about US bashing, its about a situation facing US currently. I am Indian by origin and l live in US and am a US citizen. I also live in India for a month or so due to business reasons.

Well, anyway, sorry Ghurka. I'll step out of your thread now. I guess I just had to vent, and you were the unfortunate victim. Nothing personal against you. I actually think you're ok. I just had an ********* moment. I feel better now.
