Considering there are alleged links between the Mumbai attack and the Pakistani ISI, I'm not surprised that there's a lot of bitterness lingering over that.Spark wrote:
watch that space, imo. there has always a lot of bitterness and antipathy between the two, but especially after mumbai.
now a lot of indians are becoming increasingly vocal about saying "well, shit, america just showed how it's done - why don't we pull something like that?" and that could get very nasty indeed. remember, pakistan doesn't have a real government, it's basically run by the military, and they still mostly fear india far more than terrorists.

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=216453French official: US Libya re-engagement would help
By REUTERS
04/13/2011 17:06
BRUSSELS - US re-engagement in military strikes would help NATO's Libyan military operation and Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Sweden could step up their efforts, a senior French official said on Wednesday.
The French official said European NATO allies conducting air strikes in Libya did not have A-10 "tank buster" aircraft and AC-130 gunships that are in the US arsenal, and which analysts say would be useful against Gaddafi's armor and artillery.
Sharp differences among NATO allies on the conduct of the air campaign against Muammar Gaddafi's forces surfaced publicly at a meeting of the international "contact group" on Libya in Qatar on Wednesday.
"If the United States provided resources to the current operation, so much the better," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "But we're not saying that if the US came back it would change everything."

I went to a public school and we learned some of the basics of the different 'major' religions around the world. It was called "Global and Cultural Studies" (or similar)...I remember learning about the five pillars of faith in Islam, the eightfold path (Buddhism), the basics of Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, etc... There was no theological discussion (and no preaching), but the cultural aspect was certainly discussed and taught. I don't see any problem with that. It was tied in with a history class, so it made perfect sense. An awful lot of human history is tied to religion, so it really ought to be taught in a historical sense anyway. I don't think 'religion' classes should be taught in public schools, as they imply some sense of indoctrination.

Get back with me when, you can come up with a personal problem, that has nothing to do with the decisions you make in life.
For example, tuition rates in most American states have risen much faster than inflation.
Inflation has outpaced median wages in most professions by a considerable amount.
These external factors don't preclude success, but they certainly make it harder than before.
