ah yes...bureaucracy... the inefficient yet effective tool of democracies to appease the masses of contenders. A panel WILL be set up...will any work get done? Will the land reforms *actually* happen? probably not...something tells me this march will reconvene in about ten years...with the same demands.
Quoted: The Indian government says it will set up a panel on land reform to meet the demands of landless farmers and indigenous people.

I love how US Foreign policy under the Bush administration has always been about hindsight, and hardly ever about foresight. In the late 1990s US was all over India regarding not signing the NPT, conducting underground tests, etc...labeling the country as a "rogue" nation. Seriously, India was your concern? Shouldn't the Bush administration have re-evaluated its foreign policy with Pakistan, post 9/11 and the war on terror? what good will it do to worry now, when over half the country is filled with terrorist factions? i recently had a chance to speak with Ed Meese, and i asked him what he thought about the Bush administration's relationship with Pakistan and what his predictions were...let's just say, the answer was most unsatisfactory.
Quoted: Pakistan says the technology is under control. But Washington wonders.

this is how a democratic nation is born from an Islamic state...not through invasion, but through the realization by its own people, of corruption of power, suspension of constitution, and violation of their rights...
how long can Musharraf continue to postpone the inevitable...
Quoted: Police blanketed the protest site and barricaded the opposition leader, Benazir Bhutto, in her house in Islamabad today.

this is sad what's happening to these people's lands. after all, farmers haven't moved into the realm of portable wealth, and all their valued wealth lies in land/property. the dichotomy of modernization and land reform. glad to see at least they're keeping Gandhi's non-violence movement alive! worn through 3-pairs of flip flops!
Quoted: Thousands of peasants marched more than 200 miles to New Delhi demanding land reform.
