What sucks most about India is Indians themselves. National Interest at stake? I mean, what sort of statement is that? This deep rooted slave mentality refuses to leave our heads because we are bound by our 'elders' the half baked idiots of our country who havent had an ounce of aggression in their souls and wish that we are capable of being a 'superpower'. Rubbish!... Iran would provide oil therefore we should suck up to people who have neither the will nor the courage to blend with the world in anyway shape or form. US is the country wiht the technology and people like Makhajani cant see beyond his Nehruvian ideolgy where US is the "capitalistic aggressor' and they will eat us alive ..OOOOOO...such a scary scenario...Will someone remind him of the Persian invasions into our land? Its history..those who do not learn it are condemed..oh wait a minute ..but we are! I wish the rivers would flood and flush it all away. Three words that have destroyed our minds Tradition, Culture and Heritage. Cowards. All of us. That would include you lot at rediff as well...censoring all the letters that deviate, you self appointed guardians of journalism.
