His detention is prompting calls for a ban on Hindu nationalist groups accused of stirring political violence, including recent attacks on Christians in eastern India, before national elections next year.

A true world leader, such as Rome was, stays on top for a long time because for all its faults, it knows that it has to settle disputes among its subject nations in as just a measure as practical. The Roman justice may have been arbitrary and it may have been brutal but it was usually well considered. We refuse to do that; we insist upon promoting the interests of our favorites - presently India and always, always Israel. We should sponsor negociations on the status of Kashmir and we should insist upon a Palestinian state. With Palestine, we will not even allow other groups such as the EU to do what is needed. We shrug our responsibilities as world leader, and as such we allow terrorism to flourish as it surely will do when justice is available. In place of promoting justice, our idea of being a world leader is to fill the vacuum with total bulls--t about our role in "spreading democracy". The world seems to be tiring of our immature leadership.

Along with whatever other strategic purposes the Mumbai terrorists might have had, the article you link implies why a Pakistani and/or Muslim terrorist group would attack India. It shows that Israel sometimes is its own worst enemy and false friend of the West. Its military meddling and arms sales also mimic America's, with much the same results. Very nicely done, Lear K.

During that year's brief conflict with Pakistan, known as the Kargil war, Israel responded quickly to India's desperate requests for arms, despite pressures from various quarters not to supply ammunition to a party engaged in war. Unmanned aerial vehicles for high altitude surveillance, laser-guided systems and many other items were provided within days of the request. Jane's Defense Weekly, which gave details on the supplies, reported in March 2000 that Israeli security officers were regularly visiting the Kashmir border. Jane's Terrorism and Security Monitor reported on August 14, 2001: "Israeli intelligence agencies have been intensifying their relations with India security apparatus and are now understood to be heavily involved in helping New Delhi combat Islamic militants in the disputed province of Kashmir." The Jerusalem Post reported on February 3 that India was sending four battalions of nearly 3,000 Indian soldiers to Israel for specialized anti-insurgency training. Their special assignment on return would be to employ newly learned techniques to stop infiltration of India by Pakistani terrorists in the contested Kashmir region.

On the other hand ,it seems that you couldn't let any chance pass without you bashing Islam and Muslims even when the issue being debated has nothing to do with Muslims or Islam. “Interesting how you guys never miss a chance to bash Israel”
Tim,
No one bashed Israel until you yourself brought it up!

On the other hand ,it seems that you couldn’t let any chance pass without you bashing Islam and Muslims even when the issue being debated has nothing to do with Muslims or Islam.
