Birds of a feather: Racist leaders meet in India
The leaders of two religious chauvinist parties, the Likud (Sharon) and the BJP (Vajpayee), who are unfortunately also the leaders of their respective countries, meet.

I can just imagine how Gandhi would react if he knew that Sharon was visiting his shrine.

1. Gandhi would not like it:
"Mahatma Gandhi himself was opposed to the creation of the state of Israel."

2. Nor would he be wild about Vajpayee
Since Gandhi also opposed the creation of Pakistan and was murdered by a Hindu extremist.
