Nerve Endings Firing Away

George Bush ‘shocks and awes’ the Middle East into accepting democracy. On the other hand, Manmohan Singh simply takes it online. Now, who would have thought it was so simple. Start a "virtual centre for providing information on democracy and a forum for exchange of experience" and forward the link to Bin Laden. Poof! all terrorism ends. Now all they would need is a damn Internet connection and the world would be happily ensconced in democratic wonderland. Somewhere in the Tennessee hinterland, Al Gore is going, damn! that was my idea. On the other hand, Mushy knows just one tune.
