Well it's Pakistan's display of barbarism and savagery once again. And Bush is moving the Senate to give Pakistan over $1billion in aid this week. One barbarian seconding the cause of another ? One liar (Bush) supporting another (Musharraf) ? One fudged election winner supporting another ? I tell you Pakistan and the USA have so much in common. :-)
The US of A is building up another state with further weapons of mass destruction (do you have any doubt as to where that money will go other than to finance the military and the terrorism?) which will then turn and use it against America yet again. Hopefully this time America will wake up to the fact that it is Pakistan behind all their terrorism problems.
So folks, sometime in the future prepare to receive another lesson in shock and awe and watch the jokers on CNN and Fox news give their dog and pony show.....this time against Pakistan
And I wait with bated breath for the dramatic bulletins from our very special inhouse correspondent Veronica Fernandes ......:-) I promise I will simply love them.... after all I cannot imagine Vero writing against India when it is India or US vs. Pakistan. Now don't go and prove me wrong Vero. Your balanced and unbiased bulletins just about make my day :-)

P.S. one of the Middle East papers today brought out a photo of some young Pakistani girls donating their precious allowances for aid to the Iraqi people. No brainer on where that money will go ? To finance suicide bombers in India, to finance the terrorism in Kashmir, Assam, North East India, etc. Any bets that not even a tenth of it will go to Iraq ??!!!
From: George Pinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet] Condemn the brutal killing of Hindus in Kashmir Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 23:28:46 -0800 (PST)
From Prof. Hari Sharma (retd., Canada)
A Public Statement March 25, 2003
A cowardly, yet horrendously brutal, killing of innocent people has shattered the Kashmir Valley
again.
In the nightly hours of March 23, twenty-four men, women and children were gunned down by unknown
attackers in the village of Nadimarg (Pulwama). The victims were all Hindu Pandits of Kashmir.
We in SANSAD (South Asian Network for Secularism and Democracy) and in INSAF (International South
Asia Forum) utterly condemn this savage act, this crime against humanity.
When members of any particular community are subjected to brutal killings - whether they are Sikhs
in Punjab, Christians, Dalits, Tribals and Muslims in Gujarat and elsewhere, the fragile secular
and democratic make-up of the Indian society goes through another challenging test.
For over twelve years now, the people of Kahmir have been subjected to a never-ending vortex of
violence. The entire people have been turned into helpless victims of the terror inflicted by the
contending forces, while their genuine aspirations for peace, dignity, and democratic rights of
self-determination remain crushed.
It is very unfortunate that every time there is some movement toward normalization of social
relations, some movement toward peace in the entire region, it becomes disrupted by such wanton
and melicious acts of interruption. It is obvious that there are vested interests who do not want
the Kashmir problem to be solved.
That the secular and harmonious aspects of the Kashmiri society have yet not been destroyed is
indicated by the manner in which the entire community in the village of Nadimarg came together to
mourn the deaths of the innocents. Muslim men and women wiped their own tears and those of the
survivors of the Hindu families.
''We don't believe this could happen here,'' said Khatija Bano, a Muslim housewife. ''I am
shocked. Why will anybody kill these poor people? They had nothing to do with anything. They were
struggling like all of us for two meals a day here in this far off village,'' she said. ''They had
not left the village because they had always felt safe here. It is their home like it is our
home''.
It is noteworthy that Muslim, Christian, Sikh and the democratic/secular organizations have
strongly condemned this ghastly act, and have demanded from the Government of India and of Jammu
and kashmir to find the culprits, and to take the necessary steps in bringing security and a sense
of dignity to all the people in Jammu and Kashmir.
We in SANSAD and INSAF join these voices of sanity, and of goodwill.
