I’m totally with you, dude. Let’s not have any truck with people who fund terrorists. Let us cleanse ourselves of all dealings with them and work to obliterate their name from this planet.

In solidarity with this movement I am returning my Indian passport to the local consulate. Once stateless, I shall join in the Global Jihad against People who Fund Terrorists, ie. against the Indian government, the US government, and any other sort of government.

I hope you will join me in this crusade, brother. Send your passport back to those Contra funding swine in the White House today.

No, because they knowingly fund terrorists.

What do you suggest India do… What exactly are you trying to sell…

See post.

… the only credible opposition to the House of Sa’ud in the Nejd is currently fronted by Osama bin Laden.

Because dictatorships and oligarchies have shut down all opposition political parties except the Islamist ones, which they can’t because they live under the shield of being nominally Islamic governments. This is why Hamas won. The U.S. has consistently backed these states rather than democracy due to its dependence on oil.

You and I can sensibly disagree about shutting down places where terrorist recruiters gather (you think it will help, I think they will go somewhere else – but then the proof of the pudding in each case is in the regurgiation). What we cannot reconcile is your apparent feeling that the Indian government should practice achuthya against the Saudis because, as you say, they fund madrasas. Only Islamophobia can possibly justify such an outrageous, bass ackwards, policy. What do you suggest India do, squeeze the Saudis where it hurts by stopping all oil purchases to drive down world prices? Why do you even want to hurt the Saudis when you know what the alternatives in the Islamic world are? I mean, the only credible opposition to the House of Sa’ud in the Nejd is currently fronted by Osama bin Laden. What exactly are you trying to sell, Manish?

The US also helped overthrow the democratically-elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953. Actually, Britain was the main instigator here as Mossadegh wanted to have access to the records of the British Oil Company profits in Iran (the Iranians were not allowed that!) and re-negotiate the royalties on Oil. So Britain feeded Eisenhower with the ‘communist take over’ of Iran angle, so that the CIA could get involved in the overthrow of the government.

Anyways, I get riled up about this, because the empty rhetoric towards Iran doesnt do anything but elevate the supply concern in the world Oil futures. As it is 15-20$ price per barrel is due to the “supply concerns”. Well, I got most of my money invested in US stocks.. I cant have OIL at $90 and US economy tanking

According to their figures, one flying windmill rated at 240kW with rotor diameters of 35 feet could generate power for less than two cents per kilowatt hour–that would make them the cheapest power source in the world. For greater power needs, several units would be operated in the same location–Sky Windpower says that an installation “rated at 2.81 megawatts flying at a typical U.S. site with an eighty percent capacity factor projects a life cycle cost per kilowatt hour at 1.4 cents.” [Link]

Funny, when the left says this stuff, the right criticizes it. When the President says it, the right stays mum. For what it’s worth – I think it’s a simplistic thesis and a simplistic solution. Parts of it are valid and true, and parts of it are full of —–.

Here it is – It is just a factsheet that gave the numbers.
