Doesn't every kid want to dig a hold to China? Didn't you? What about Chinese children?

I sincerely hope that they (relations between India and Pakistan) will be friendly and cordial. We have a great deal to do...and think that we can be of use to each other (and to) the world.

Suppose you had a cross burning in a play or a movie... Would that be intimidating?
