Litmus test

I guess Ric's response to your addition to his litmus test gives us an idea of the general opinion of west with regards to our problems with Islamism. they think in terms of terrorist-vs-freedom fighters. probably its colonical hang-up where probably India's struggle for freedom was seen as something like terrorism. While they give blanket cover to Israel (which I support), they give F16s to Pakistan (which I dont understand). and its not even that they are making money out of it. they give it on aid!!! In general, west is inherently hostile and biased against us. while my response would be that we may not seek or expect any co-operation on this issue with the west (wonder what we may though), I guess your stance is different.
