25. ditto.
Edited on Sun Mar-05-06 05:26 PM by indie_voter
I am also of Indian origin, born and raised in the US. People just don't understand the depth of mistrust and anger.

A few years ago I was sightseeing in New Delhi, our guide was Muslim from Kashmir, the person driving was Hindu from New Delhi. It seemed to an outsider they were chummy buddies, but man, when one was out of sight of the other, the distrust was amazing.

It was too dangerous to go to Kashmir, I wanted to show my husband how beautiful it is, I went there with my mom & siblings in the mid 70s when it was still safe.

My dad did some refugee work soon after Partition a few years before he moved to the US, the stories he used to tell were amazing.

This latest deal isn't going to help us with Muslims, and I agree it just got easier for bin Laden and his ilk to recruit in Pakistan.
