Wrong line of argument
by dip dutt on Sep 07, 2007 03:11 AM

The pro-US guys here are adopting wrong line of argument. Let us have a healthy discussion with a FREE, unbiased mind-niether pro-US NOR anti-US.

Most of the arguments have been resting on cases why we need to have good relations with a strategically important partner like the US. No questions there. We need good relations there. I am myself a resident of the US..

Similar are arguments why we should NOT support Iran. No questions there too.

But the objection is why WE would build/sever our relationship because SOMEONE ELSE ASKS US TO DO SO..That is the fundamental sovereignty question here.

For example: Let us say, you do not like your wife and CANNOT stand her..Even if that be the case, no one has the right to interfere and instruct you to divorce her.. That should be YOUR decision.

Similarly, whether India should have relations with Iran or India will/will not explode the Nuclear bomb is orthogonal to whether someone can instruct us to do so..In other words, sovereignty is independent of what we do with it.
