Americans are Rogues immaterial whether they are Republicans or Democrats.All that matters to them is their self interest,first, always & everytime.India should stand its ground and say 'Hell with the US'in case the Democrats try to be difficult. It must be made crystal clear that India can do without the US.In today's geopolitical scenario, it is the USA that needs India's support rather than vice versa. colonelrajan@rediffmail.com
