Indians Protest When Their Government Fails To Prevent Terrorist Attacks. What do we do? Give them carte blanche to deprive us of civil liberties.
I like!
No thanks!

People should be pissed on 9/11. They should be marching in front of the Pentagon, the White House, and the headquarters of the C.I.A. b/c THEY fucked up.

Did anyone in the Bush Administration resign b/c they fucked up? Hell no! How many officials have in India already?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I mean, instead of mournfully reading a list of the dead on 9/11 at Ground Zero, they should be screaming in front of the fucking White House.
Fuck. When did we become such wimps?

well, we arn't necessarily wimps, americans spend to much time working to spend much time protesting.
we are enslaved with debt.

That's true, Chuck, but shit, people get all mournful on 9/11 and they should be PISSED. I don't recall a single protest after 9/11. Folks in India are all riled up and demanding answers, esp. since it seems the Indian government knew it was coming.

We're wimps.
We stand in lines and take off our shoes at airports, even though it's bullshit. We obey. We are terrified.
And then we send out the economically disadvantaged to die while the ruling class laughs in their champagne.

actually, there are a lot of 9/11 truth protests check youtube on that, and Ive been to a few good sized anti-war protests. we are ignored.
but all in all, id love to see larger numbers of americans get pissed and start marching. the no on 8 protests out here were good to see

Huh, well we got two of them after 9/11. They've been going on longer that WWII. We can't wrap shit up expeditiously anymore. Time to call it quits and go ahead and break up like the Soviet Union b/c we're clearly pass our prime.
China! You're up!

They're not going to war with Pakistan. Ever since Pakistan popped off a nuke in 1998, they've known better. I was there that summer and in the main paper they printed up a kill zone from a nuke of that size centered in Delhi.
They aren't stupid.

Soup lines, 21st century style:
"Food stamps, the main U.S. antihunger program which helps the needy buy food, set a record in September as more than 31.5 million Americans used the program -- up 17 percent from a year ago, according to government data."

Nothing then:

Nothing now. They fucking attack the equivalent of Congress, and they roared and went to 'High' alert, and nothing. Cuz Pakistan will nuke them.

think india conducted nuke testing in 74 and again in 98. so i am sure they can nuke back

Game over if you lose the capital.
First strike and they know that the civilian command in Pakistan is non-existent. That's why the Kargil War cooled off.
They may tiff in over some ridiculously high mountain, they'll go up to the Line of Control, and I pray no one start popping caps, but they aren't going to total war.

war could mean fewer people on the planet... that might not be the worst thing
Oom Mao Mao said, (35 days ago)
Honestly, a couple of small warheads going off in India probably wouldn't make the situation there much worse.
'cept at ground zero and the environs.
I'm all for population reduction. I don't want to be the one to push the trigger though.
Here, here!
