Frankly, I have no problems with that. I do not want to send people representing my country to other countries who will insult those countries. If being gay insults you, then I should have enough sense not to send a gay ambassador to live in your house. Your house, your rules.

Still is. Until India orders the Embassies closed, she cannot say what is and what is not Diplomatic Territory.

Originally posted by Blademaster View PostNo the standards does not have to be applied to those countries. The reciprocity doesn't work that way. India can pass a law singling out a group and start demanding more payment like US has done with the H1-B visas towards India.
Originally posted by Blademaster View PostYes she can. She can say that this land is no longer suitable for diplomatic territory. Recall the time when Gaddafi came to NYC and he wanted to pitch a tent in the middle of the Libyan grounds and US said no? There is your counter example.

To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.

Bigfella, the US officials in india live in a sugar coated environment created and maintained by new delhi. The politicians in delhi are threatening to remove it. That's whats happening right now.
And india is going according to the "law of the land" argument. It means "law of the land" triumphs over any and every diplomatic rights of the US officials. The argument was and is being made by the US officials in USA whenever indian officials argue against the arrest of devyani.
India is saying, "if the US is making that argument, we will too".Last edited by anil; 17 Dec 13,, 15:55.

Originally posted by Officer of Engineers View PostDon't know but the NYPD said the orders to treat her per SOP came from higher up, ie the cops were going to be nice until ordered otherwise.
