Anil While undoubtedly agreeing with Sonal, there are two other things that strike me.
She has applied the insights from Milgram's experiment to the Afghan and Iraq invasions.
Why doesn't she apply it to the situation in India - the Babri Masjid demolition, the Gujarat massacre, the rousing of peoples by the RSS, the VHP, the Bajrang Dal and the consequent--and ongoing--demonising of anyone they consider enemies, etc.
What she describes of the Nazis can exactly be said of the Shiv Sena.
And two, she doesn't quote or write about the Stanford prison experiment.		 5/27/2005
Anil She should learn how to quote "quotes".
There are mistakes in her use of quotation marks.		 5/27/2005
