Not sure if one should be happy or cry at these two cognitive dissonances, one almost "settled" and other just warming up for a long haul:
1. India: Ayodhya verdict - "The Allahabad High Court on Thursday ruled by a majority verdict that the disputed land in Ayodhya be divided equally into three parts among Hindus and Muslims and that the place where the makeshift temple of Lord Ram exists belongs to Hindus. "
2. US of A: Ground Zero Mosque: "Plans to bring what one critic calls a "monster mosque" to the site of the old Burlington Coat Factory building, at a cost expected to top $100 million, moved along for months without a peep. All of a sudden, even members of the community board that stupidly green-lighted the mosque this month are tearing their hair out."
Well, in a weird way it does proves we humans think the same and are alike - no matter where we come from and who we are. So much for Gandhi's and Jefferson's.
