Democracy is not a lollipop

crappy article by a person with armchair perception of Islamism...at America thinks of spreading democracy because Americans are not cowardly Hindus who run away from Islamism in Punjab, Sind or Bengal. America must be doing some things right. No terrorism in US since 911 whereas in India it is regular occurrence.

Sir,
Do you know the boundries of America ? America is sourrended east and west by water and north and south by countries that are so friendly with america. Were as India is sourrended by countries that are potential to cause problems to the country. So just do not compare on the terms like after 9/11 America did not had any terrorist threatrs. The base with which you argue is totally wrong

Has it ever occured to you that the reason for all those countries neighboring the USA being "so friendly" with America could be because they can't afford to not be so? Being unfriendly to USA could mean risking your very existance, even if you are on the other side of the globe(as Iraq has already realized and Iran too will [by all possiblities] before Bush leaves the white house). Don't you think that the same must be all the more true for counties neighboring the US? It may not be an exageration to stste that even if the US was geographically placed in the same location that India is today, the very counties which are thumbing their nose at India would infact co-exist very peacefully and amiably with the US; for they would cease to exist other wise.
