Mr. Modi tries to come to america

It has been reported that a grave insult and injustice has occured. The honorable chief minister of the great state of Gujarat, Mr Narendra Modi’s civilian visa to the US has been revoked and his request for a diplomatic visa has been denied. Clearly this is another example of the ever increasing and unreasonable influence of US power in the world and something needs to be done about it.

Well, to all you hypocritical morons defending Mr. Modi’s cause, here goes.

Much as Mr. Modi and some of you would like to believe, there is no fundamental right to visiting a foreign country. It is a nation’s right to decide who they will let into their boundaries and who they will shoo away. The same holds for India should it choose to exercise that right.

Now that we have the legalese out of the way, Narendra Modi for all his official posts and talk of democracy, is nothing more than a religious fundamentalist terrorist. The man was the chief minister of a state, people put their trust in him to govern, and he violated that trust in the worst possible manner. That he is out of jail in India should be a bigger matter of shame and debate rather than the US denying him a VISA.

Some would argue that this is a matter internal to India and the US has no business “interfering” in it. Instead, they should honor the diplomatic code. If that is the argument then I guess there really is no reason to stop genocide anywhere in the world. Let us indeed turn a blind eye to Rawanda and Serbia. Will the same people who are arguing so vehemently for Mr. Modi’s cause be open to the idea of Osama Bin Laden or Idi Amin (when he was alive) being granted a VISA to India? I would guess not. And while we are on the topic, I would like someone from amongst Modi’s defenders to tell me as to what should be the criterion for denying entry to a person to a country? Exactly what is the threshold of barbarity that he has to cross before you think it is enough?

Some one other than the Supreme Court of India should have the courage to point out the reality to Mr. Modi and while I am no great fan of American foreign policy, I am glad that they have the balls to do it.
