I wonder why other countries are spending billions in other measures when all you had to do is ask. Terrorists are reasonable too, right? </snark> I’m wondering [...]

Problem Nation
People in India often wonder which U.S. presidential candidate is best for India. Christopher Hitchens provides an answer at least in terms of our war on terror (or lack thereof).

Too Early to Call
John McCain often brings up the issue of [success of] the surge on the campaign trail regardless of the fact that it is just one part of the largely unpopular war. Rationally, it shouldn’t even matter if one part of a war that should never have been waged succeeds or not. Probably it may allow [...]

United States sets date on Iraqi withdrawal
“U.S. and Iraqi negotiators have agreed to the withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from the country by the end of 2011, and Iraqi officials said they are “very close” to resolving the remaining issues blocking a final accord that governs the future American military presence here” [source].

The Iraq/Pakistan Border
What is the best way to avoid threats from Iran? Pretend it doesn’t exist. Just like McCain does when he talks about the Iraq/Pakistan border. Or is he just having another Miss Teen North Carolina moment? This from a guy who claims oodles of foreign policy experience as reason enough to vote for him. FSM [...]

Futility of banning pro-Tibet protests in India
Note to the Indian government – you do not ban pro-Tibetan protests in a region that is claimed by China but lies within the legitimate borders of India especially if it is a peaceful protest.

Torch Relay through Arunachal Pradesh?
Given the extent of protests worldwide, the Chinese authorities will be glad when the Olympic torch relay comes to China and roam around its countryside before culminating in Beijing on August 8th. In their country, it can safely squash any protests and hide its brutal ways of doing so from the eyes of the world. [...]

Illegal immigrants are suicide bombers?
An American (Native) Indian once advised Herbert Humphrey,”Be careful in revising those immigration laws of yours. We got careless with ours.” I guess ‘blue-blooded’ Americans are taking that advice a wee bit too serious these days. Strangely, in these days of terrorism dominating the national agenda, illegal immigration seems to have crept in the [...]

Defining Victory
We have been led to believe that the war in Iraq is a part of the global war on terror. Sadly, we are losing it. If not, please define victory in Iraq first so we know when we should feel hopeful.

The Girl in the Cafe
Gina: Is all right good enough? Is all right good enough for you, Mr. Gerhardt?
Chancellor of the Exchequer: I think all right is a lot more than many expected.
Gina: So lots more mothers die the day they give birth? Lots more children die before they’re five? Lots and lots more die of diseases that are [...]
