However, since they have "re-directed" most of their previous defense spending into social programs, they are unable to do so any more. In fact, they now obstruct the notion of liberating the oppressed. We'll see how they react to the new threat from Iran's defiance of the UN and the EU. > BTW, is the "mixed" Portuguese - Goan ancestry claimed by Troy DeSouza mean he has mixed blood? Or is he trying to insinuate to Canadians that he has European blood and is using the sophistry that some Goans use by claiming a Portuguese ancestry because of the colonial-era "Estado da India" fabrication, where Portugal claimed that Goa was not a colony but simply an "overseas province"? -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --

They made the journey from refugees to MP's in five years. Such are the opportunities in Canada.
