Rajiv Sikri is very astute in his observation of the Pros and Cons of our growing relationship with the US. America has always had and will continue to have its political, economic & military interests at the forefront of its priorities....even at the expense of treaties, pacts and other related agreements. India needs to stand firm on its principles, its long-lasting & time tested geo-political friendships and its commitiments to domestic and international issues. "Never put all your eggs in one basket" may be an old saying the Indian people and its Democratic leadership should always keep in mind. Jai Hind Frank Cherian - USA
