We are all Indian's


India has become the latest nation to be mourned by the world. Ten Pakistani terrorist launching a well orchestrated plan, massacred 171 people in and around Mumbai formerly Bombay. There is a long history of hatred and war between India and Pakistan- not least of which is the issue of the disputed Kashmir region.

If the attacks themselves are not painful enough, listening to the blame America first crowd is even more so. It took Indian "feel good" Guru Deepak Choprak all but 5 mins to blame the US involvement in Afghanistan? The denial about Islamic terror runs deep on the left. The history as well as the present is very sobering: In America and Canada for instance there are Mosque, Temples, Churches, and Synagogues. In Muslim countries there is no such religious diversity. Minority religious populations are either subjugated or forced out as was the case in the former Christian dominated Lebanon.

Those who believe that there is some moral equivalence to this issue of Islamic terrorism are foolish. All Muslims are not global terrorist but all global terrorist are Muslims. Is there any other groups who blows up airplanes or commit mass indiscriminate killings for pleasure? The motives behind the Mumbai attacks are simple: To destroy the economy of India and force them to withdraw from Kasmir. There is only one solution to this problem and its not at the negotiation table. How do you negotiate with someone that will accept nothing but your death and you don't want to die? There is hardly a middle ground there. Obama will certainly have to get out in front of this issue unlike his two predecessors. It's important to note that the within the first year of both the Clinton and W Bush administration there were attacks on US soil- the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and 911. I hope Obama's people are reading this.

Mmmmmm, this dear Sage is difficult. I have not read or heard what Deepak Chopra has had to say about this, so I'm in the dark. I'm reluctant to take your word for it because it sounds like it is your interpretation of what he said rather than a quote. Let me put it this way, I don't blame the instability of the Congo on the US, but I believe that had Eisenhower's administration not participated in the assassination of Lumumba, a whole lot may have turned out different. I agree with you that there is little room to negotiate when there is a gun pointed at you. I also know that the greatest of human kind always manage to get others to put their guns down. These issues are complex for me and it makes me very nervous when someone is as categoric as you are about them. I wish your post would have sought to promote a conversation; it sort of puts a fullstop to any conversation . . . I love its frankness though.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
