I feel that the author has just stated facts and has not taken anyone's side. However I find that the criticism is quite harsh from some people, though the reason I haven't been able to fathom. I wish that rediff publishes more articles on current issues which common people have a feel of but have no real knowledge about them. I wish that someone writes about the way the UN Secretary General is elected. Another issue that I am keen to learn more about is on various small groups that are shaping the world politics like the European Union and the African Union or the ASEAN or ECOWAS etc.
