*** Not at all Uttam. There is truth to it. Bush-Cheney have taken us 
into a war under false pretenses.

But the difference here is that once the American people have figured 
that out, they are not taking it lying down or turning a blind eye to 
it, like Indian intelligentsia has been. How Bush/Cheney would love 
to rule over a population like India's  with desi-demokrasy as a foil!
