*** No amount of rephrasing is going to change the facts of the matter. The entire problem with Indian nationalists is that they attempt to deal with issues as matters of semantics. AlQaeda is a collection of disparate elements, from many nations, whose aim is to destroy the USA. They are not people held under the rule of the USA against their wishes. That is not the same for the Nagas, not for the Assamese freedom fighters,not the Kashmir sovereignty seekers. It takes a lot to miss such a profound distinction. Only those whose minds are already made up and can't see the other person's viewpoint in a flash, or even taking their own sweet time, could miss that. >What does it imply ....... the aim to destroy USA is >the only thing that makes an organization terrorist >....

Now that the polls are over in Kashmir, IS the Kashmiri problem over? If not why? IF Indians and the Assamese establishment and their expat supporters are SO SURE that the ULFAs aims don't resonate withn the people, why is India so paranoid about letting the people of Assam discuss it opnenly, freely, and then hold an election to discredit ULFA, in order to bring closure to a savaged society? What scares India so to do that? >DD: What is the meaning of "did not spawn to Destroy India" ? Declaring >war >against India as ULFA has done in its newsletters, that too against >the wishes >of the majority of the people in Assam is an act of destroying >India. *** In English, it means that ULFA or NSCN or other similar orgs. were NOT formed with the express intent for destruction of India, a country where these people do not live in, under or near, as opposed to those who call themselves Al Qaeda, and are dedicated to the destruction of the USA. Hope that is a bit more understandable. If ULFA, NSCN, Kashmiri movements, etc. are destroying India, then India ought to be able to do something to diffuse the reasons for it; assuming India considers them fellow citizens with a set of grievances. Has it? >Blasting pipelines, killing Indian citizens (that includes Assamese as >well) >and stopping economic progress of As! sam (an Indian state) - they >are all acts >of destruction. In my estimate the intent is the same as >bringing down WTC with >an intent to destroy USA. *** The destructive actions did not materialize suddenly one dark and stormy night to wreak havoc on the Indian state. India knew what was coming, but not only did nothing to prevent it, in fact assured its coming thru its own actions. ALL acts of destructions are not the same. To equate Al Qaedas destruction of WTC with ULFA or Naga or Kashmiri acts of war against the Indian State is to display a degree of naivette, unbecoming of an informed individual. **************************************************************************** At 6:21 PM -0800 11/18/02, D Deka wrote: >K, > >You have several valid points.
