dear pssn homme You need to understand a strange paradox in the life of a nation .Succesful Nations are born on idealism but Nations are not made succesful by idealism alone .There are and there will be situations where what you do will be seen as contradictory to the basic philosophy of the nation but still will be the best course of action in the larger interest of the nation .We need to look at all those actions in that light .In fact we are not doing so well because as a nation we are too soft and the "bad" examples that you have quoted are few and far in between . Surely some of these actions caused more dmage than good , but they are still better then no action at all .Complex but true .
