#1 Yeah Arundhati, Democracy is a whore. But she's a whore with a heart of gold. Which is why you can spew your bullshit in a free country and not be put in leg irons for life for your despicable views.

Arundi ought to try talking smack like this in Pakistan or Cuba or North Korea. See what things are like on the other side. Nahh.

"There are too many people who imagine that there is something sophisticated about always believing the best of those who hate your country, and the worst of those who defend it." - Margaret Thatcher.

#2 Arundi actually ought to try talking smack like this in Kashmir, in her own country.

(hmmm...which she seems to have mostly deserted for a comfortable life in New York. She been spending a lot more time in the US than in India, recently...funny how that happens...they hate us, but they shore do like the lifestyle here...)

#3 This kind of thing has a long history. Think of the Japanese immigrants here who sided with the Imperial Japanese Army during WWII and were interned. If we weren't a bunch of gutless wonders, we'd have arrested and deported some of these enemy aliens a while ago.

#4 Maybe she's criticizing the farce democracy of the Islamic Republic of Iran and instead arguing for the rule of law, government transparency and free markets?

Look, orange juche shot out my nose...
