	  Why ??       =:^)        

	  I welcome you to SCI, and I look forward to any constructive
	  comments you may have to contribute. I don't mean knee-jerk
	  reactions to some inflammatory posting, but a serious article
	  on some topic that may better educate us about your viewpoint.
	  (God knows there are few of those on this newsgroup......)

	  I have a feeling that your post is intended primarily as a
	  flame generator..... Not as a serious platform for discussion.

	  There is a newsgroup called rec.humor for this 
	  kind of thing, y'know.....   =:^)    (just kidding....)

	  I agree that the USA is a great place to be in. Otherwise most
	  of the regulars on soc.culture.india wouldn't be here......

	  But as for the rest of your statements, I dunno. It is not for 
	  the sake of peace that Desert Storm was fought. And as for 
	  George Bush's New World Order, see the sig that I have been 
	  attaching to my posts....... It is not originally mine, but it 
	  is pretty apt.

	  You really aought to see both sides of an issue before pledging
	  allegiance to George Bush or to any other leader. If you had
	  said that George Bush did what was good for America, I _might_
	  have been a little more inclined to agree with you; but as far
	  as the claim to being a guardian of peace and a beacon of goodwill
	  to the rest of the world....all that sounds a little hollow in the
	  light of the recent attempts to manufacture a confrontation in
	  the middle east.

	  Anyways, I am not in America because America is fighting for peace.
	  I am here because, at the moment, it offers me more money than I 
	  can make in my own country. Whether they admit it or not, many of 
	  my compatriots on SCI are here for the same reason.......Few, if any
	  of us really came here for peace and freedom.....So it matters not a 
	  whit to us whether America becomes a peacekeeper or a hegemonist. As 
	  long as I can make my dollars.... That is the bottom line.

	Prem!

        The company I work for does not necessarily agree with the 
	above views (And I don't see why they should).  These are my 
	personal views.
