"belong" Sanjay?
Reader comment on item: Israel Shuns Victory
in response to reader comment: This is not a war.
Submitted by Donald O (United States), Mar 29, 2006 at 21:37
Sanjay, one thing the Muslims can grasp is some aspects of nature, it seems you cannot. Despite your understanding of India's politics you lack some basic understandings here on Earth.these lands don't "belong" to any peoples that can go away come back and claim them from some divine inspirations thousands of years later at the point of British & American machine-guns! These lands don't belong to anyone as these bodies we inhabit don't belong to us.
They are rented or leased if you will, to be the stewards of such properties for the time alotted.
Otherwise, as we see in the USA right now there are millions of Mexicans marching in US cities with their Mexicans flags flying proudly - with the belief that someday in the future those states will return to Mexican control.
before that though we have to return the land to the Apaches, the Comanches, Seminoles...
