Quoting David Forde's (Hey David! Long time no chat 🙂) article:

"4 - 95% of the comments say that USA should not return the region to India as the people of India and its Government are stupid, small in number and that if we want it we should try take it."

5 - The common opinion is that India should be PTO'd by the USA and then destroyed so we cant ask for it back and that we as Indians are stupid.

6 - 5% of the comments on the thread realise that if the USA doesn't return the region as agreed India can just let serbia into do the job for us and the whole of the World will see that the USA is not to be trusted on its word in the future.
"

Seems like typical Americans, does it not? Unfortunately, I have a feeling Mr. Forde either is not reading everything or simply is making assumptions. See for yourself: http://eusforum.com/index.php/topic,24318.0.html


Let's avoid this.

The majority of those asking "Is India stupid?" or "India is full of idiots" are not American citizens or are not American officials - more so the former. Just on the first page, the only true insult came from an eIsraeli. On the first page I also found two against this, while I found four in favor.

Continuing on throughout the thread, and yes I read it all, I found that the gross majority of Americans posting are in favor of handing Karnataka back to Indian control. I encourage all Indians to go and look at the thread and see for yourself.

Now, a lot of those in favor of handing it over have some hypotheticals about India being invaded, doomsday, and some Emerick loving, but that usually comes when you get a bunch of teenage Americans on the same forum. Our bad, we are drama queens 😉

What is now happening is Shail and Abhi are posting in the thread defending India - the only issue is that they are "defending the decision" from the minority of those posting. This causes those against it to post more, and make it look like there are more people in favor of keeping Karnataka against the will of India. For every five or so I see "Let India have it, did we not promise we would give it back if they wantred it?" I see one guy posting across the entire thread about ten times "India cannot into iron!" One apple makes the basket look terrible, and all nations have this problem.


On a real-life note, I really can't wait till you guys export this to the States!

I am unsure of what President Richardson, or any other American official, will do on this issue. What I can say as Congressman of Karnataka and Former President that helped in the liberation of India from Indonesia, that I support giving Karnataka back to India.
