I feel your sympathies to Karat is misplaced. The world has moved and we are not naive to become a valet of USA. We have to learn along the way and how others are looking after themselves than be isolated. No harm in doing business with USA and Bush only happens to be the president.
China is engaging USA in everyway and benefiting all along. Our efforts to become a member of Apec did not get any support while China was a star performer in Sydney. President Hu not only engaged Bush but also met a Taiwan leader! They are working with USA to denuclearise the failed state, North Korea.
Vietnam is embrasing USA, Europe etc. The Americans are assured safety in investments and many introduce and embrase them that they fought them few years ago. They are also reassured "you are safe, we have no muslims!"
The nuclear deal was negotiated by all our capable diplomats, scientists etc. Common, we have to give credit wehere it is due, everybody requires all especially USA and let us try to make the best of the choices than be afraid of every move. We should have self confidence.
We all know, we have to create wealth to distribute and we have to work for a rich man only. Why can't people like Karat engage North Korea and get some help? Let us look forward with confidence like China, with whom we are tagging ourseleves as the future of 21st century.
