**** Really? What is the credibility of the police to have determined the detained youth/s i/are "terrorist/s"? Amazing police work that they went and picked up a 'number of ULFA workers'. They must go about their work wearing ULFA uniforms. What is also the credibility of those who announce one day that Assam police is the most corrupt and inept, and the next day hold its verdict up as gospel to announce a bunch detainees are 'terrorists'? > >Musharraf has more or less clamped down on his >terrorists. **** As if Musharaff is the OWNER of the Kashmiris who have been fighting for independence for half a century and so he could 'clamp down' on them. Those who believe that live in a fools paradise. > >Militant movements are >writing to his Excellency, G.W.

Of course the US is not that stupid to give India a free ride to Kashmir. > >The guy was laughed at >in most capitals - India refused him entry >specifically mentioning he was not welcome. **** Wow! That must have taught them firangis a lesson to mess with India. EU must need India more than India needs EU. But that would be a laugh. > >In between the sins of India and the >terrorist groups, the world has finally delivered <>their verdict - **** I missed that. So, is India getting to be a veto bearing member of the UNSC finally? No? Ever wondered why? Kashmir, Nagas, Assam--all I am sure have a little to do with it. > > the terrorist groups working against >India are the bigger sinners **** The only problem here is the TERMINOLOGY. Indians' inability to separate 'terrorism' from fights for self-determination and freedom, is not exactly a problem with those whose blessings they so desperately seek. > >The Indian attempt to "ride on the coat tails: of the >US military campaign has been largely successful. >Musharraf has more or less clamped down on his >terrorists.
