Here are Deonandan.com we are constantly watching for signs of the impending wars between the USA and Iran and Syria. Due to the troubles the neocons are having at home, however, it is my stated belief that Washington will intead project power toward Iran via its proxy, Israel.

While I officially think this is all drivel, strangr things have happened.

After the recent terror blast in India, someone actually asked me if I would reconsider my upcoming trip to that country. I was stunned. I hadn’t realized people still think this way. India is a nation of close to a billion people, and a few score were tragically murdered by terrorists last week. My odds are still remarkably good that I will be untouched. Moreover, India has been the target of terror attacks for decades, by Sikhs, Muslims and any number of separatist and rebel groups we’ve never heard of. There is nothing new happening there, with respect to public security, except for greater Western interest in the phenomenon. In fact, my very first day in New Delhi, nine years ago, was punctuated by a story on page 12 of the morning paper: “Twelve Congressmen Hacked to Death in Andrah Pradesh.” (Andrah is a state in India.) Terror campaigns are so common, and yet comparatively marginal, that they warrant page 12 treatment. So, yes, I’m still going to India.
