Sale of F-16's

I dont think it is so much to do with rewarding Pakistan as much as it is to do with the politics of saving jobs in the US. What this proves, yet again, is that politics, not principles, drives decision making. If Indians are not doing this, they are just being stupid. Why blame someone else for our stupidity? No one can walk over us if we do not allow them to - that is the hard reality. The sooner we build that into our psyche, the better for us. Our school children need to be taught this. We chronically suck up to someone we as rich, or mighty. We forget the old Indian adage, "Marriage or rivalry shall only be with equals". We should learn to behave like equals with anyone, not subservient serviles, else we get no respect in the world.
