Did I ever say that USSR helped us during the China War? They didn't and neither did the US. Obviously, you didn't read my full comment. I have also said that if it's in India's best interests to ally with the US, then that's what should be done. However, let's not deny facts. India may or may not have leaned towards the USSR, but whatever be the reason, the USA was definitely not our friend those days. Simple, you are indeed simple-minded if you think otherwise. But, in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies; and to answer Hemant, I don't see a problem if India and US come closer. Also, FYI, I'm no "comrade" - I haven't got any sympathies with the Communist Mannifesto. I merely corrected Bal Yana's impression.
