Wouldn't 'Huge Karmic Retributions' only be an issue for us if we were destroying a Hindu country?
When we turn these middle eastern countries into parking lots aren't we asking for problems from the Blue djinni, or mohammed's ghost?
Maybe a touch of 'allah's revenge' (gonorrhea)?
Something a little more sand-goblinish...
Good point! I suspect the Hindus won't complain if we kick the snot out of the Iraqi military and nail Saddam's hide to the barn door. Heck, I bet they'll even be happy at that turn of events!
Also - and I may be incorrect on this point, but I thought that karma was an individual thing - actions of the *individual*, good or bad, sort of "boomerang" back to that individual at some point in the future. I was not aware that karma applied at the national level, or even to smaller groups. I guess I'll just have to research the topic a bit, so I'll be able to tell just how full of sh!t Cheryl Crow really is.
