I ditto your sentiment. This is horrifying but true. Sadly our foreign affairs are largely controlled by people who put the interersts of other countries (read Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Pakistan and other anti American and fundamentalist nations) and their own narrow selfish mitives above the country's general interest. That is precisely why India finds itself at the nadir in terms of foreign affairs. We are currently being ruled by people of specific ideologies who have their own narrow selfish motives in upholding the cause for specific nations. And our bureaucracy is moulded in the same pattern. But that need not be the sentiment of common people.
