TO: George Pinto You say: I think Mario missed taking his medication today - again! He quotes me below when I did not write the excerpt below (Mervyn did). He refers to Merwyn as Indian when he was born and raised in Africa and lives in Canada and is of Goan ancestry.
Facts, after all, should never get in the way of a neocon argument. To George: Thanks for pointing out that I mistook you for Mervyn. Maybe it was because you guys think alike. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know that Mervyn is African-Canadian. I should probably stop thinking of Goans as synonymous with Indians. However, don't you think an African-Canadian of Goan ancestry would know that Pakistani jihadis, assisted by Al Qaeda, have killed tens of thousands of innocent Indian Kashmiris since 1947, which is the point I was making? And George, please don't assume everyone is on meds just because you are. And since you are a stickler for meaningless details, please note that I am a conservative, not a neo-con. Do you even know the difference? Also, please find below my corrected post as per your comments: Mervyn writes: Last week, I was reading a book review in a Mexican paper. The book was written by a ex-CIA agent, giving her views on the failure of the CIA to catch bin Laden. Mario replies: Mervyn, don't you have anything better to do than to gleefully criticize the country that protects your sorry backsides in Canada, which is incapable of protecting itself any more? What positive suggestions do you and your country have to offer? How any African-Canadian of Goan ancestry can support the Islamic jihadi mentality that has killed over 50,000 Kashmiris since independence is beyond me. Surely you know that Bin Laden has not been caught because he is a) hiding in a hole in the ground somewhere while exhorting others to die for the cause, and b) being protected by tribesmen in Waziristan. Most of his compatriots have been captured or killed, and it is only a matter of time before he will meet with the same fate. I must remember to offer you condolences when that happens.
