The US Ambassador to India has done immense harm to the emerging Indo American ties by his indiscrete comments.India has done well to express its strong reaction to his statements.his subsequent comments that he had been quoted out of context is nothing but the usual face-saving statements who ae caught with their foot in the mouth It is not clear in what way the N-deal with USA is going to benefit us.Is it so important that we have to listen to all the crap that the US Administration officials have been saying.One gets the feeling that Indian Govt has goofed up the foreign policy in this matter and had allowed themselves to fall in the US trap. The Us has always been acting the bully.We should tread carefully in dealing with them S.Ramaswamy
