Thanks Johnny! That's a pretty informative link, from both a historical point of view and as a window on the current crisis.

Half tempted to send it to a news agency and see if they can do some digging on this.

Let's carpet bomb the region with pacifiers.

edit- Oh wait nevermind, that wouldn't work on people who can't grasp simple satire.

Uhhh... Well. Atta boy there, durkha-lad, you've somehow managed to suck and blow at the same time.

It's called Freedom Of Speech, I suppose.

Too bad the right to bear arms didn't go with it...that would cut those kinds of protests a lot shorter.

Or make them a hell of alot longer.

Just having a debate on the ESPNSTAR sports forum (which has a lot of Indian and Pakistani members - you may recall our friend A Decent 1 is from there). Here's a snippet.

That is only the beginning of more dangerous and deadly attacks from the extremist there.The best thing they(the responsible parties) to do now is to issue an apology or else they can xpect more bad things to happen which of coz we dont want to see happening. [/QUOTE]You didn't answer my question mate. I'm wondering if you think the burning of the embassies is justified by the lack of an apology. And also, are you suggesting we should pander to extremists when they threaten violence?

[/QUOTE]Yes i think it is.And yes,we should pander to the xtremists because they are fighting for our rights.I think some of the muslim governments there has tried to negotiate with the responsible countries to stop doing thoz things but its not working.The xtremists have no other choice but to act with violence. [/QUOTE]It's unfortunate that you feel that burning embassies, kidnapping innocent people, using suicide bombers and pandering to extremists is somehow an appropriate response to anything. It makes me feel even more depressed about the state of our world today that people could hold that viewpoint.

[/QUOTE]It's seriously depressing to hear some people's viewpoints on this...
