The reality is, of course, always more complex than what we state in our little discussion here.

certainly...but i can't help but feeling governments are just a reflection of their citizens, especially in democratic ones.
also, is it not the indian gov that is threatening the Bangladeshi gov? of course many indian citizens would favor that, and some would not (these would be the genuinely altruistic). i don't know. assuming that the gov is making the threats, then my statement would hold. otherwise, yes its fallible.
