Many have expresesed anti American views in this forum. Please do not forget that the cureent economic growth of India is because of the pressures exerted by the World Bank circa 1990 when the country was dead broke because of all the socialist policies championed by the intelligentia in the country, which still has not changed its mind. India switched to a policy of free market economy (still being hobbled by the "intellectuals who are leftists that talk about socialism and communism, but send their children to elite private schools "), and the results are showing. Much of India's growth is because outsourcing by US companies, and by remittances of NRIs who escaped the policies of socialization and the caste and bribe based economy developed by the Nehru beauracrats in India. So whenever you critcize the USA, think about who is helping the economy to grow. Of course, the USA may have been wrong to go into Iraq (in hindsight). However, if it is not for the USA, who is going to fight the Islamic terrorists who want to take over the whole world? Europe? No, they are too busy savoring the protection given by the USA during all the years of cold war, when the Russians could have run over the Fulda gap in germany any time and taken over all of Europe...They still do not have the courage or manpower to face upto the Islamists. Of course, they also treat all people that do not look like them or belong to the same religion as dogs. Go and see for yourself in France, Germany, or Italy...!Russia? They would like India to be "socialist" again, and be giving them hard currency for their weapons. China? They are waiting to take over Kashmir, Arunachal, Assam, etc. Pakistan? You know the answer... Friends, realize that there is a great war going on between Islamic terrorists who want us all to convert to Islam or pay the Zizya tax as we did under the Moghul emperors, or kill us. Israel is up against them, but only because of American backing. The ideal of India is the same as America, namely a country where people can live together peacefully and happily, whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or atheist. The nuclear deal is as improtant to India as it is to the USA. So, the Indian Government should get it going before George Bush becomes the "lame duck' President very soon. The President who is likely to be a Democrat will not be behind it as much, and 'the nuclear agreement" will die a painful death.

China took its own decision whether to deal w/ USA or w/ Russia or any other country. We also like that. So, no one think that it is to contain whom. No body is there in a containing stage like a cap to contain like a container bottle. Better work for their own country benefit. Different times need different friendship. India inspite of all sanctions we have achieved a lot with our hard work & struggle. We rise to the world with our individual efforts with minimal help from others in the past ( as more help were restricted). We have right to tell our things. We need more talks to let them understand what it is all about.

No one that all of a sudden send a Super Power to go home. We need to be friendly with neighbors like China as well as the Mighty Super Power USA too. We need Russia & other powers too.

Bang on LAX. This is the reason. The other is of course the huge consumer market which even today has just had its tip exposed.
Wonder when these Amrikaaan asslickers stand up and realise there is more to India than just Amrikaan benevolence.
