"I hope, like Frederick the Great, I can throw Indians into a 7 year war that will recast our national character, dissolve petty differences in blood...so that we may become like a closed fist. That means undoing centuries of rot. Will God be so kind as to unleash His wrath on us." These powerful words hit me hard when I first read them, and they continue to echo disturbingly in my mind. This is t
O Governo indiano anunciou hoje a entrada em vigor de novas medidas contra o terrorismo, entre elas a criação de uma agência estatal de investigação, e voltou a pedir ao Paquistão que atue contra os terroristas que utilizam seu território para perpetrar ataques.

Anti-Social Behavior of Young Children:Turns USA Small Towns into DisturbiaA recent Dear Abby contained a plea from "Afraid in Wisconsin" who expressed concerns about the behavior of a new neighbor's 11-yr-old son. This letter highlighted the plight of many who live in a suburbia across America: antisocial kids who terrorize their neighborhoods, and the inability to deal with them. "Afraid in Wis
Precrime? This sounds familiar - just another case of manufactured terror. It’s so in your face for anyone that isn’t utterly psychologically invested in the lie and who takes the time to research this. Government agents go out, infiltrate some social circle that is either stupid enough to manipulate or who like to talk smack [...]

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan has said something about Islamic terrorism that most Muslims have always known. But, secular India has been shying away from facing that basic truth. The often parroted statement that terrorism has no religion has ensured that no response has been developed to counter an ideology that has already claimed the lives of thousands of innocent citizens, and is set to claim many

One of the most amazing things to me in the recent electoral process was the complete absence of serious discussion by either camp of anything relating to Latin America.

It is to the point where the Mexican gover
The Mumbai terror attacks have once again put Indian IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms on high alert.

The image of Pakistan, as evinced by global media reports, throws up a large number of contradictions that seem irreconcilable.

A “responsible” nation wronged by India and by the United states, a misunderstood nation that symbo

While politicians are justifiably facing intense heat for Mumbai 11/26, police officers have so far largely escaped any censure despite some startling revelations that have appeared in the press. There are undoubtedly many more skeletons hidden away by the police in their creaky, colonial cupboards. All these need to be dug out and shown to the people of India. Unless that is done, India and India

If the war on terror was a 15 round fight, I would say that we are probably still waiting for the bell that starts the first round.

This creates a feeling of complacency that causes us to forget that this danger is stil

After the blasts in Ahmedabad on 26 July this year, I had written a detailed post about Islamic terrorism in India, indeed the world.

Fighting terror without Pakistan by Lisa Curtis: “The U.S. doesn’t really have the option of abandoning Pakistan. We rely on Pakistani air, land and sea space to supply critical fuel, vehicles and aircraft to support our 26,000 (soon to be 29,500) troops fighting in Afghanistan. The U.S. would find it extremely difficult to develop alternative supply lines for the war effort in Afghanistan.”
