Mario, please excuse me if I dont respond to your posts any more. I have much better things that to waste my time on someone who has no intentions of doing anything for Goa, yet questions others about their intentions. We have had too much of hot air like this on this forum. Mario responds: Samir, Like the others who cannot handle being challenged when they make no sense, or fail to read and comprehend posts they are responding to, you, too, are excused. Anyone who followed your ridiculous comments in this thread would know from where the hot air was emanating. BTW, I have not questioned your intentions but your sole objective seems to be to question the credentials and intentions of others who have every right to opine in this open forum. You, likewise, are free to respond to their facts and opinions, but choose instead to question their citizenship. However, what I have questioned is: a) the non-existent results you have achieved in actually doing something for Goa while, b) claiming to have the proper credentials as a citizen of Goa, and, c) questioning the credibility and motives of other Goanetters who may or may not have Indian citizenship as if that has any relevence to what they can do for Goa. You became unhinged when Rajan Parrikar called Indians expert losers. While I did not choose to be as blunt in my choice of words, look at the facts. Yet another 200 innocent Indians had just been killed by a sneak terrorist attack that the Indian authorities had been warned to look out for by the US CIA - down to the access from the sea and the targets being expensive hotels. Yet no one in Mumbai was prepared. This was a failure of leadership, and those who paid with their lives were innocent citizens and heroic policemen and commandos, who were not as well equipped and trained as the attackers. Now some of the leaders have resigned, which is the least they can do. For a high-tech country like India not to provide their security forces with night vision goggles and sophisticated heat sensing devices and communications monitoring and jamming devices in unconscionable. What Rajan was outraged about was that India was not only losing the battle on the ground, but also the PR battle on the world stage which was being dominated and influenced by the Pakistanis and their fellow Muslims who work for CNN. The only Indian to be seen on US TV was Deepak Chopra, an embarrassing and self-promoting medical charlatan masquerading as a political analyst blaming everyone but the terrorists for this atrocity while expressing no remorse for the victims and their families and demanding that the US implement a Marshall Plan for Muslims worldwide as a cure for their homicidal and suicidal tendencies. And you were questioning Rajan's CITIZENSHIP? What kind of nonsense is that? So, your excusing yourself leaves me underwhelmed.
