Sonia/MMS should show some courage and do something good that will benefit India for a long time. They are going to lose the election any way. Why hang on to power for another 10 months. Left may bring down the government but they should still do the following:
1. Finally approve 123 2. Join in a permanent military alliance with USA 3. Volunteer 75000 India troops for Iraq that will relieve half of US forces in Iraq. India can ask for 50% of exploration and development rights to iraqi oil. 4. Volunteer 200000 Indian troops to invade Iran. USA can do all the bombing and India can do the ground fighting. Ask for exclusive right to Iran's oil and gas in return.
