This in all proabablity was an agreement made much earlier. Well, America is a generous country. There no point in ga-ga-ing its generosity.

I have deep sympathy for what Americans are going through, but at same time somewhat disturbed at the self-congratulatory American discourse that has overwhelmed the nation since Sept 11.

This makes leaders of trigger-happy cowboys who could do well to delve deep into complexities that lie at the roots of Muslim fundamentalism.
