My two cents.

First World Countries don’t fight anymore. Too much to lose…little to gain.

India and Pakistan they may have a go at it. More likely Iran hits Israel itself or thru a proxy like Hamas. The Israeli’s respond heavy against multiple nations with nukes. Iran, Syria and anybody else making threats. I don’t think they go first but they will respond overwhelmingly.

China depends too much on Japan and the US. The real power lies in economic pesuasion with the Chinese. Mao isn’t running the place anymore. The new gang is all about the money.[/quote]

Well said.

All this stuff is hard on D-brane.

This reminds me of my favorite joke:

Two electrons are waiting for a bus on a bench and an other electron walks up and ask if he can have seat.

One of the electrons replies, “What do you think we are a couple of bosons?”

Yeah, I’m that kind of nerd.

No, you just go ahead and slaughter more than 2,000 of them in your own state of Gujarat… Don’t worry though, most of those slaughtered were muslims so I guess that makes them ‘terrorists’ so you won’t lose any sleep at night.

Okay, the title of this thread sent me down memory lane all the way to my childhood.

This is the way we blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah, this is the way we blah blah blah, so early in the morning.

Hey, come on, at one point my neighbors were four girls, so I would get dragged out of the sandbox or have to put down the toy machine gun every once in a while y’know.

Anyway, the song needs a new verse obviously. Maybe one kid could “push the button” while others choose between “duck and cover” and “blown to hell”.

Mate… first of all I was talking about Pakistani based jihadi’s attacking India. This was never about Muslims v Hindus.

Secondly… I liked how you grouped all the hindus in India and held them responsible for that one incident!.. do a little research before you post?

Muslim extremists burnt down a train full of Hindu Pandits and killed them all… that lead to a riot in which 1500 people were killed, I will agree that the majority of them were Gujurati Muslims., but the people who were involved in those riots… were GUJURATIS… not every fucking hindu in India alrite?
The riot was a reaction to the murder of 50 + hindu pandits… it wasn’t unprovoked and both sides were involved in the killing, more muslims died only because there are more Hindus in India thats all.

I was in India at that time and everyone I know was appalled by the situation in Gujurat and we all condemned it.

Dont confuse my hatred towards Pakistani mujahadeens, with Indian Muslims pal.

I think it’s obvious that every hindu wasn’t responsible for this act. I would of stated such if I thought it would be misconstrued.

I think it’s clear what you meant when you stated “I would like one of them to tell me one occassion, when a hindu strapped a bomb to himself and killed innocent Pakistani’s… or infact name one occassion when an Indian has ever crossed the border and committed any act of terrorism in Pakistan.” Your stating that since hindus don’t “strap a bomb to themselves…” that somehow they are morally superior to Pakistanis.

The point I was trying to make in my statement was very clear in that hindus are not morally superior to Pakistanis…there are extremist on both sides capable of horrible acts of terror.

Somehow justifying this (I’m not saying you are) as retaliation for muslims killing 58 hindus on the train would be equivalent to Americans attacking citizens in Timothy McVeigh’s home town.

I think you misunderstood what I meant when I made that statement, I should have been more clear, sorry… that was NOT directed towards the Pakistani civilian population… it was towards pakistani based MILITANT groups like LeT (Lakshar-e-Toiba) and JEM (Jaish-e-Mohammed )and the new AQK (Al Qaeda in Kashmir)

The common man in India and Pakistan want peace and we share a lot of common interest’s such as food… music… bollywood etc… outside India or Pakistan, we get along ok, we just cant EVER bring up Politics (Kashmir).

I will agree with you that there are extremists on both sides and since I have just explained above… that I wasn’t talking about Pakistanis… but their Militant groups… I will have to say that YES… hindus, rather Indians on the whole ARE morally superior to those individuals… because we haven’t EVER committed ANY act of terrorism in Pakistan.

In the last terrorist attack… where they blew up 7 trains in Mumbai… 2 of my childhood mates were seriously injured, I used to take one of those trains to college everyday… but luckily I live in England now so I wasn’t on it. Over 200 people were killed… alot of people lost loved ones… I didnt see them joining terrorist training camps and crossing the border and killing Pakistani civilians in retaliation.

Yea as you said, I wasn’t justifying the riots… every Indian… be it the hindu, muslim, sikh, buddhist, christian, parsi etc condemned it. There are muslims all over India but the rioting never scattered to other parts of the country… it was specifically a Gujurat issue.

See Gujurat shares a border with Pakistan in north India… alot of pakistani militants infiltrate the border and stay in sleeper cells in the state… so the hindu community there are a little suspicious of the muslim one. Secondly… most of the holiest hindu sites and the oldest temples are in the north of India. North Indians are very religious.

Those pandits were returning from a holy pilgrimage from the birth place of Lord Ram… they are probably the most harmless and most respected men in India… they dont believe in killing animals hence they are vegetarians(infact all gujarati’s are STRICT vegetarians)

Now when an extremist muslim mob attacked their train and burnt them all alive, this was a recipe for disaster… there was obviously going to be a reaction to the massacre of 58 pandits…(especially in a relgious part of India) and unfortunately it led to a riot where muslim mobs attacked hindu neighbourhoods and vice versa, might I just add… those individuals responsible for the riots were the scum of India… working class, uneducated muslims and hindus all those reponsible should be hanged and they do not represent their respective communities at all.

I hope I explained myself better this time

Well put. If you get the chance check out works by Arundhati Roy or Vandana Shiva - two excellent Indian writers.
