Bush and Blackwill together have changed the complexion of India-US relationship and taken it to a new, better level. Blackwill put the "hyphenators" in the State Department, people who said India-Pakistan in same breath, in their place. Plus fighting a war in heart of Islamic world has diverted attention of the fundamentalists more towards killing Americans and sparing Indians; Indians are sitting ducks for them anyways (Pakistan probably has hundreds of sleepers, plus countless journalists and politicians on their payroll.) Bush admin has also shown less enthusiasm for cap-n-rollback at any cost policy for India's program. In short, there's less ambivalence and ambiguity from this administration, too bad BJP is not at the center to exploit Bush rule to the fullest.
