Ian Welsh, contributing to AllVoices asks, "If the US can bomb Pakistan whenever it feels like by using the justification of terrorism, why can't India?" and worries that there is "nothing more likely to either cause a war or cause Pakistan to implode than India bombing inside its territory. The long history of distrust between the two countries would make this the equivalent of Russia bombing a terrorist camp in the US."

Pakistanis and Indians are from the same racial stock. They are no different from each other than than the Germans of cold war East and West Germany were. But just as East Germany was a failed state because of its politics - Communism, so too is Pakistan a failed state because of its politics - Islam.

I started blogging in January of 2006; but had I started years earlier I doubt I would have overlooked posting an article about India's most famous actress, Aishwarya Rai who won the Miss World contest in 1994. In 2003 she was voted the most attractive woman of 2003 by HELLO Magazine.

Our host and future partner in a joint India/US telecommunications venture takes us to the most expensive part of Chennai ($500.00 per square foot just to buy the land) for breakfast. Just to translate that for my readers, that comes out to over a million dollars for a 25' x 80' empty lot. For the average Hindu, if we take his entire annual earnings, this means he can pay for the lot in 370 years provided he gets a mortgage with no interest and he needs no other money to live on.

I Arrived this morning in New Delhi at the Indira Gandhi Airport certain parts of which look as shabby as they did back in 1986, but I should add that it looks like they are finally starting to make improvements and will be completely modernized by 2010. One inconvenience is that after disembarking in the international section, you have to take a 15 km ride to the domestic terminal if you need to fly to other cities as I did.

Farmers will tell you that music can make hens lay better eggs or cows to give more milk; It's called The Moozart Effect and I'm not Joking.

It's not border disputes; it's not sectarian violence; it's nothing to do with Kashmir.
