I'm not going to take the time to respond to every point of the post above, because it is both ill-informed and steeped in colonialist garbage. Suffice it to say that the security challenges faced by the United States, a massive island nation with no meaningful rivals within several thousand km, and India, which is bordered by hostile states armed with nuclear weapons that have a long and proven history of sponsoring terrorist activity, are in no way commensurate. You can say what you want to about RIM, the right to privacy, or whatever, but the bottom line is that it is not an "environment of fear and distrust" which creates terrorism in India, but massive social/cultural/religious/economic tensions that simply have no analogue in the United States. Go read about the Naxalites, open a history book about the British Raj, and then come back when your opinion is worth something.

I can just hear it now... "And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those damn kids!!!"

Scooby dooby doo, where are youuuuuuu?"
