On my way out of this conversation, but a rhetorical question even as I agree with your post: is moralising, lack of awareness of complexities and all that balderdash they subject me to only the privilege of the allies and their supporters?

I just re-read what I wrote - just to let you know, it wasn't a shot at you Capt, I'm just generally musing now.

To answer your (rhetorical) question - I guess it's just something we have to put up with from the winners in history (it doesn't make the losers narrative any more valid either). India's turn will come again soon, I'd like to think.

And I've probably dragged this topic too far. It's 05.30am here in Israel, and I really should sleep at some point.

Always a pleasure Capt

MERRILLVILLE | As Imam Mongy El-Quesny was about to leave the Northwest Indiana Islamic Center on Sunday night, he heard the reports of the killing of Osama bin Laden.

"It is a victory for the good against evil, the right against wrong, the truth against false," said El-Quesny, leader of the Northwest Indiana Islamic Center.

He began calling multiple people, asking them if they heard "the great news."

"What happened Sept. 11 changed the vision of the world," he said. "I think what happened (Sunday) should also change the vision of the world."

I did not think that it was a shot at me, SMT.

You may like, but I shudder to think that- also disagree, because China is the new kid on the block and India will be stymied.

I shudder simply because our systems are much weaker than those of countries like the US that now dispense victor's justice.


Back ontopic, this killing will make Pakistan more unstable. Not good.

On the other hand, it may give Obama enough leverage to be able to declare 'victory' and orchestrate some kind of peace deal involving the Taliban in order to get US troops out of there.

wrong question -
the constant harping of 9/11 being the baddest, worstest, evilest happening to man - gets the "oh for chrissakes..."

at what cost is all the jubilation in front of the white house about ?
are US soldiers that dispensable to the country ??
them kids killed for what ? what are they dieing for ? who are they fighting for ? ... and it continues on and on and on and on.

what did the indian peace-keeping force to sri lanka lose their lives for ? for what ??

are all these lives so easily dispensed with ??

oh well...

An angst driven, evil forboding? Seriously, who gets their nose out of joint over a few drunken college kids on a bit of a tear?

That too. In fact, that is a given. But the US has been unable to have the Pakistanis move against the 'Pakistani Taliban' at home, who are a major threat to stability. Part of the good Taliban/bad Taliban and good terrorist/bad terrorist game. How the ordinary Pakistani's will react will be interesting. There is supposed to be a lot of anger against US military actions within Pakistan in the past.

Yeah, well, but Huey's, special forces, offshore missiles et al still didn't make a difference in Pakistan, did it? The 'allies'/Nato are the next step, as usual. But maybe after Saudi Arabia- with sporadic military ops in Yemen and interests- will have a few things to say about that. One thing the allies do not want is an uprising in SA. Too much oil.

There are striking similarities between Pakistan and Yemen wrt terrorism and elements-of-government involvement. One big difference too, there is no "Arab Spring" in Pakistan. Yet.

On another note, with a reminder that both India and Pakistan are nuclear States- not that Indian and Pakistani casualties would have bothered the US much, if they op got snafu-ed . Collateral damage of re-election campaign and all.

US President Obama and his national security team spent hairy moments in the White House Situation Room on Sunday worrying among other things that Pakistan would mistake the Osama-specific American commando raid on Abbottabad for an Indian attack.

which is why i said nationalism is like a God to whom we must kill children to satiate it's hunger and receive blessings. People scoff at the animals sacrifices in Nepal, and the rare human sacrificed in isolated events to please Kali.

But here in the Western world, we sacrifice children to our God daily.

You can ignore what the USA does. But your complicity implicates you in the murders as well. By your support you are just as guilty as Mohammed Omar is. If one is willing to live with that, then there is nothing further to say.

The US avenged the senseless, backstabbing slaughter of ~ 3000 international people on 9/11/2001. I am not ignoring this, I am rejoicing along with the majority of american muslims & those that despise radical islam around the world.
