Hi,
It has been a suprising week so far regards people's perception of War on
Terror by US. The recent article by Jugal-da Kalita was perhaps the first time
the issue was discussed in ASA's March 2007 newsletter
http://www.assam.org/newsletter/ (though he hedged it with photos of his US
Marine friend's pictures shooting - perhaps to show his longstanding love for
US and his patriotism for the only country whose passport he now holds) . He
spoke against war in Iraq.
He will perhaps enlighten us next round how US should deal with situation
like Sep 11 bombings.
.
And how the next US president should behave if in her/his tenure another
major US landmark is destryoed by terrorists (God forbid) . I think the
prominet US landmarks are Empire State buidling, Sears Towers, NYSE , Capitol
Buidling etc . Should that president talk only of peace or take decisive
action. Bush's Iraq war (2003) was supported by the public when they reelected
him to the office of US President in 2004.
Would Barack Obama, Condi Rice or Mrs Clinton (wife of Monica Lewinsky lover
Bill who was too busy in romance to see terrorism ) or Rudy Guiliani or John
Maccain have those guts. Have they any experience at all in dealing with war or
terror?

PS: Surprisingly some Harvard MBA profs also cannot provide decisive
leadership of what to do about terrorists. http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5633.html
Will Iraqis be able to forgive US if it leave now and subsequently millions
die in civil war (the way if happened when British left in a hurry under Lord
and Lady Mountbatten - leaving a divided India with millions dead in civil war
-while corssing the then newly established border between India and Pakistan)
