India and Pakistan

A reader makes a good point:

Both India and Pakistan are "front page" news today, all over the world. India, because TATA unveiled the world’s cheapest car. Pakistan, because, yet another suicide bomber killed 25 people in Lahore.

The contrast is breathtaking, but the reason is simple: one chose the path of secularism, the other, Islamism.

And one is a democracy and the other isn’t.
