[Dialogue] new article

[DHARMALINGAM VINASITHAMBY]

Dear Vance,


Thanks for this excellent article. 
I'm struck by how much on target Gandhi's observations are on
today's situation. His image as one who defied the mighty is so strong
that I tend to gloss over his thoughts and statements about the extremists
in India 
whose actions was a threat to the peace he was trying to bring. 

People tend to reduce his thoughts to pacifism and then discount his ideas
as inapplicable
to today's situation. Your article rescues them from the box they have
been put into.

The terrorist has created the anti-terrorist and both are a threat that
can be dealt with only by going beyond both of them in the manner you
describe.

regards,

Dharma
