[Reader-list] gujrat election

[Vivek Narayanan]

Vedavati,

When I think of this event, I feel a great sadness.  Narendra Modi's 
victory will be the biggest ideological boon for those who hate us.  He 
will be the *cause* of many terrorist events over the next five years.  
Yes. 

But let us think twice about the word "terrorist".  It is a stupid and 
inaccurate word.  What we have here are two world views that hate each 
other but are, not coincidentally, symmetrical in their design.  It's 
two opposing revenge-fantasies, in fact.  Just think what the logical 
end of that could be. 

Vivek
