Rajiv, Keep it up. You have lot of Lallus in your fan base. No matter what you write, Lallus keep praising it. Even a school kid with little common-sense can see the illogic in your article, which starts with the terrible war in Iraq and ends up with ports in Kerala .
People should read history before entering any country. It was the same Iraq that saw the grave of the then super-power Persian empire at the hands of Holy Companions of the Holy Prophet. It was the same Iraq that resulted in the mass acceptance of Islam by Halagu khan and his progeny, which then rose to become the greatest power of middle ages, the Ottoman Empire. It was the same Iraq that kicked the arrogrant ass of Winston Churchill.
