PSA, MSA offend AmericanDespite the overwhelmingly negative response to Dini Parayitam’s India-Pakistan article, I have decided to write this rebuttal to the MSA and PSA. I have the utmost respect for both organizations, but there are some issues in their letters that need to be addressed.To the PSA: Indeed, Pakistan is a peaceful country. However, there are still terrorists in Pakistan that blemish its otherwise flawless countenance. If Pakistan doesn’t deal with its terrorists, India has the right to take action.  Dini only posed one side of the argument. Admittedly, there are many sides, but right or wrong, wise or foolish, her opinion is her own and of little tangible consequence. In the U.S., freedom of speech is only limited when there is imminent danger. To suggest The Reveille should take action against her is blatantly preposterous. Stop trying to censor anyone that offends you.To the MSA: Dini’s article neither degraded Islam, nor made any fallacious implications. Undeniably, there are many ignorant people that make false assumptions, but your desire to censor this article due to comments made in a public forum is ridiculous. If you are so offended by others’ lack of knowledge, start spreading the good news of Islam and stop preoccupying yourselves with unrelated issues.I found it almost comical that both representatives of the PSA and MSA admitted they can think of many reasons why Pakistan should fight India, yet, they are greatly offended whenever an Indian thinks of reasons for India to fight Pakistan. You both are hypocrites. Both of you also simply stated you were offended, but never explained why. Congratulations on beating your chests to show your strength; you should have tapped your hollow heads to show your lack of sense.Philip Bengemath juniorInaugural crowd shows poor tasteAs an American citizen from the South, I feel a tremendous sense of pride that we have overcome the racial boundaries of the past.That being said, I am deeply saddened by the actions of the heavily Democratic crowd during the inaugural ceremonies. To hear the crowd mock the now former president by booing him during his introduction was an utter disgrace.The office of the president should mean more than the man or woman who occupies it. Instead, former President Bush was treated like Jarrett Lee after throwing an interception for a touchdown.The differences are clear between Republicans and Democrats. The level of respect shown by Republicans when former President Clinton was elected heavily outweighed the level shown by the Democrats in 2001. Change has come to America! But the bipartisan promise from President Obama clearly will not become a reality with this type of continued action. It is time to grow up and act like mature, educated Americans. God bless this country.Michael LeBlancmechanical engineering senior
