Sleeping with the ‘enemy’?
President Bush has painted himself into a corner, by his overpowering painting of all Muslims and all Arabs as terrorists and enemies of the US and Israel. He cannot breakout of his own predicament without breaking the walls. Hence the Bush threat of veto on any adverse legislation planned by the Congress on sale of US ports to Dubai investors. The people of the United States have been so thoroughly brainwashed that when they see Arabs or Muslims, they instinctively reach for the guns. A superpower cannot work in a corner; cannot survive in isolation; cannot help making friends and influencing people, even among its supposedly enemy camp. That is the gist of real-politick. Bush has had his way blustering through as long as he could sell his scare tactic as the highest level of patriotism. The neo-con made it easy, as long as he kept demonizing ghosts of terrorism in Muslim world. A whole cult of Muslim-demonizing had sprung up. Now, Bush proposal on Dubai investment, though through the British group P&O, is being treated as blasphemy by both sides of the Congress divide. It will require all of his bravado, ingenuity and willingness to open up his secret dealings, to be able for him to swim against the tide that he had himself turned on.

Why don't you be an Indian first? The moment you use Islam as an adjective for Ancient India you strike a discordant note! Do you realize that? Nobody has come to life by placing an Indent. Where, when and in which community we are born etc., in these matters we had no choice nor shall we have any in the matter of our death. That the supreme power is there, there can be hardly any dispute. Why do you attribute it something outside you? It's in the name of God most killings have occurred if someone bothers to take stock of it all so far. One who has realized God keeps to himself. He doesn't advertise Him as though God needs our help to reach others. It's there within you. This is the tragedy in life!
