Dear Gautam , Why waste valuable space and time by bemoaning the historical sins of USA and UK ? Before the second world war UK had been the most powerful imperial power and they could get away with anything . After the second world war , specially after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc USA is the only superpower that can make the world dance to its tune. There is no help and I am sure had we been as powerful India might have done the same thing . International power politics is propelled by military and economic strength and in this politics might is the right . So better stop your disconsolate lamenting.
