[Assam] European Union and South Asian Federation

Thu Jun 10 20:10:50 PDT 2010

Well, let us see if we can DE-Mystify this:

Allow me to agree that the mystifier here is a bad person, an ULFA-Pal  
in the image of say, a terrorist
pal like Obama as the great American intellectual Sarah Palin might  
say. But he is just a messenger.  Is the
message he is carrying, sullied by his personal failings?

Or is the message a bad one? An undesirable one?

IF, the message is bad, why so? Is it because it will harm India?

And if it is NOT a bad message, that it would not only be in (India's  
interest, but also its neighbors, then
why tar-and-feather the message, pooh-pooh it, because of the  
messenger's personal failures?

Would a thinking person, able or willing to reason, do that?  Cut his/ 
her own nose to spite the face?

That IS the question here.

Will we be blessed with an explanation?
