Panchkula Afternoon, 4.40pm Friday, the 4th May 2007. Very obviously Poor Sri Shivshankar Menon has to pay the unwelcome price for representing a weak Nation that cannot stand for any thing firmly, as its Economy as well as military capabilities are vastly circumcribed by the patronage of the only super-power.NDA/UPA only indulge in the silly game of Kettle calling pot black. whether it is JaswantSingh or Manmohansinghji they have to keep the appearances of sovereign authority but truth is what the US senators write about US dictating terms to a client/supplicant economy and state seeking and currying favour from the high White -house, table, all these reform decades... Freedom requires grit that Putin has shown and Boris Yeltsin could not.PR Munshi and Vrinda Karat or Yashwant Sinha cannot lessen the humiliations of our accredited foreign Secretary like Menon in Washington when their back yards are full of such corrupt and inefficient doings as our polity's.Iran or no Iran we are a client state first of Soviets ,now, of Uncle Sam...D.Goel
