That final speech of Ashok's to Dhillon is true of so many conflicts based on race and religion. Israel and Palestine, Catholic and Protestant in Northern Ireland, India and Pakistan with Kashmir in the middle. The irony is that what they have in common is equally significant.

Yeah, very big on The West Wing.

Also true for ethnicity (Serbia/Croatia), nationalistic impulses (Haiti/Dominican Republic) and political differences (North and South Korea, Sunni and Shia muslims).

What I find as dismaying as the ongoing conflicts in all these instances is that Nightingale has decided to use that aggression vis a vis Muslims and re-target it toward India, and more importantly away from the West. Basically, Nightingale is offering up new target in the "let them kill each other" vein. Very diabolical.
