Well the thing about that line of argument is that it gives India a free hand to send Mumbaikars and Tamilians to kill random people in Pakistani Kashmir. Then all one would have to do is to reverse your argument and claim that those killings are legitimate. Don't use Kashmiri Hindus, don't use...

(If) Indian Army has committed extra-judiciary killings or rape, and I would gladly support them being tried in courts. I believe that killing and hurting innocents should not be part of state policy and I believe it has not been so. I would only support uniformed soldiers acting against...

It isn't. Unless they wear uniforms and only attack the Army they are terrorists in my opinion. A policy like that is the recipe for a never ending tit-for-tat, again, in my opinion. 5 step process to a never-ending war 1) Claim neighbors territory. 2) Drag it to international forums. 3)...

Couple of questions - Not expounding my POV, just trying to clarify yours. 1) Where would you put the actions that were done by them after Pakistan classified them as terrorists and before Mumbai attacks ? 2) How would you classify actions by India if it acted extra-territorially? India...

Well the question is who is imposing whose values on whom? If Burqa is part of Islamic culture and that makes it allright to wear a Burqa in Islamic countries (or even mandatory), then why can't France impose its own values on its own people? Would not wearing a Burqa be seen as imposing...

I can understand how France has a right to ban it. I also believe that a full Burqa should not be encouraged on religious grounds. But I am also of the opinion that a blanket ban may not be morally justifiable. If there is even one woman in France who wears Burqa out of own decision and that...

If true, this would be the most dramatic and high level corruption story in the world. It would implicate the present and a past French president (the current one also heading the European Union). Also accused in the sitting Pak president. The only thing close to this I can think of is the...

And "The news" chimes in. Possibly a baseless accusation, especially it is one of the angles being investigated and no court has proved anything. Dirty deals? ----------------------- The possibility that the 2002 killing of 11 French engineers, who died alongside three Pakistanis when a car...
