Re: NON PD

[Emily and Julian Brinac <jeimages@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Am I wrong to assume that Kashmir territory has been disputed for a long
time between the 2 countries bordering each other?
Although terrorist attack is a terrorist attack, in my opinion, the Sept
11, 2001 terrorist attack on NY is a much different form of
terrorism.The latter terrorism involved an organized group of
people(terrorists) living in various parts of the world that had intent
to hurt American interests abroad and on the American territory.Even
when Israel compares Palestine suicide bombings to Sept 11 attack on NY,
it is all together different situation. How do we live in peace with our
neighbour? This is the actual question.I will leave you with this
thought.
