Hate America; Hate Amar Too?

"Bush Fire: Is India Falling Into a Foreign Policy Trap?"???This is Amar Bakshi from The Washington Post,??? I introduce myself. ???Daniel Pearl was Mossad. You must be CIA,??? comes the response. Then I???m told to go upstairs. It???s an eerie telecom greeting from Pala Koya, a self-proclaimed enemy of America who heads a hardcore Islamist outfit in Calicut, Kerala. But on the top floor I meet an old man who offers me masala chai. We drink and exchange pleasantries before he gleefully prophesies America???s demise. Lately, I???ve spoken to a number of people who condone the killing of average Americans and say they celebrate 9-11 anniversaries with sweets. It???s disturbing talk, especially when they're so forthcoming with it to my face, as an American visiting them on their turf. But I???m not sure they mean it???...
