'Uncle Joe' Stalin had a colourful phrase to describe the masses of well-intentioned, but sadly misguided people who would invevitably protest any Western attempts to contain him. He called them "useful idiots". They still exist today. Last weekend, the streets were filled with them, howling with outrage that the US would dare to use its military power against Saddam Hussein. Jeez, the nerve of some countries! :rolleyes:

Meanwhile, a week ago, before the anti-US protests happened, India expelled Jalil Abbas Jilani, acting High Commissioner from Pakistan, along with four other Pakistani High Commission staff members. Pakistan gave 48 hours notice to India's acting High Commissioner, Sudhir Vyas, and four of his colleagues, expelled for alleged "involvement in activities incompatible with their status".

These two countries are this close to war, possibly nuclear war, and I have yet to see or hear of any protests in the streets of Europe or North America. This conflict has much more potential to cause World War III than another Gulf War does. Where are all the painfully sincere peaceniks that were so adamantly demanding that America must "Give Peace A Chance"?

... or is it politically correct for neighbors to nuke each other, as long as they don't have any, like, ulterior motives, y'know?
