Some of you might be interested in reading this letter submitted to the Toronto
Star today.
It is not Goa related but significant in the global events unfolding today.
Dubbed the "Letter of the day" - this gives me hope. I thought I was the only
one in the world who felt this way.

Exactly
who is a terrorist?

I have never understood what exactly is a "terrorist." When the U.S. invaded
Iraq, the locals who objected to being invaded were labelled terrorists or
insurgents. The same for their friends sharing the same religion who came to
help against the foreign army.
Now, the residents of Gaza and indeed all the Palestinians who have been
displaced by Israel's annexation of their homeland of centuries, are also
called
"terrorists."
Well, what if Michigan or New York states decided to scoop up part of Ontario
and build residences here? Would I be a terrorist or a wimp who quietly gives
up
his home for no compensation and moves to a less desirable area?
We see where a German ship, loaded with U.S. munitions, is heading for Israel
from a Greek port. It must be that the U.S. doesn't want to be seen sending
bombs directly over there. But they still claim that 9/11 was an unprovoked
attack.
In 2009, all religion should be regarded as no more than ancient folklore.
Practise it if you must, but leave others alone and in peace.
Ralph Smith, London, Ont.
