I've been very disappointed in the coverage here in the US, that's how I happened upon the Rediff site.
This is nothing new to many of us in the US who have grown very tired of the US media trying to force their version of the news down our throats. The US media is currently focused on one thing, getting President Bush and they will create any scandal they think the American public will buy in order to achieve that goal.
As a US citizen, I am thrilled at the new relations with India. The American and Indian people have many common goals and values. Most Americans have a great deal of respect for the ingenuity and work ethic of Indians.
