wouldn't you think?

ever surrender? Would

Chandan
Somehow the above
comments bring to my mind as if some of us are trying to support ULFA
the way one would support "Charge of the Light Brigade" from a distance. We
can always support such aspirirations, and in fact inspire such
aspirations from the comfort of America Armchair, because we have nothing
to loose.
I would rather
comment the same way as Chandan did to
Hemenda.
>"And coming
from someone like yourself, who probably claimed US citizenship with a mere five
or so years in the country, enjoying the benefits and protections >of a
secular society with a rule of law,it is that much more unbecoming,
hypocritical"
Morally I will never support the
actions of ULFA from a distance if I know their cases are doomed as of Subas
Bose and Phizo. Morally I would have to join them if I believe what they
believe.
