This is expected of the US
by A Moin on May 04, 2007 02:39 PM  Permalink 

The Indian government will do well to recall how the US intervened in Chile in 1970s against Allende, when he charted out an economic policy free of US interference.

From 1950s up until 1989, when we dealt with the USSR, they helped India without pre- conditions. Now, THAT is an ally.

Anyone expecting the US to exhibit the same professionalism as the USSR is sadly mistaken. I hope we realise before we become a neocon colony...

Well, good luck with that!!!!!! They'll dictate terms to countries like India more subtly, rather than blatantly (i.e. Iraq). And to a degree, they've succeded.

They've already pressured the local government into initiating a whole range of disinvestment policies in the public sector, which anyone knows goes against the welfare of the people in the longer run...

I wish we had someone like Lukashenko of Belarus in charge...

US will do well not to interfere in India as India is a hellhouse full of incompetent politicians, who are probably the most corrupt in the entire world

US should respect a democratic country for its non-alignment
by Rajat on May 04, 2007 02:30 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

US should not use India to dictate Iran. Indian government is free to use its policy towards Iran or other country. Who should be our friend is entirely internal matter of India, United State shouln't jump into the matter

Good luck conveying that statement to the neo-cons. If the US government, especially the neo cons followed your line of thinking, there wouldn't have been bloodshed in Afghanistan & most certainly not Iraq.

by sundara rajan on May 04, 2007 02:27 PM  Permalink 

can we take this opportunity to ask US on its foreign policy and can we in our turn ask US to sever its ties with IRAQ and also to stop its selling of arms and ammuinitions within and outside its country?

best to ditch IRAN
by prachanda siva on May 04, 2007 02:25 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Continued relations with Iran is not going to benefit the country. These arab countries did not do us any favours apart from funding hard xore and fanatic muslim cause and providing funds to terrorists etc. May be we should start cultivating better relations with USA carefully while distancing ourselves from Iran.
History proves this.

dont forget, it was Iran that voted in favour of India against a UN referendum moved by Pakistan...also remember the Indian diaspora employed all over Arabian peninsula whose wages contribute fatly to the Indian exchequer...Also dont forget historically US has always not only ditched allies but also destroyed them, be it Iraq, Iran, allies in the '60s, lebanon, afganistan allies in the '80s....to fulfil its vested intrests
