Excellent analysis
by sam on Aug 30, 2007 12:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

A very apt and timely article to call the bluff of Manmohan Singh and his crony advisers. They are the one putting India into a path of great danger and subservience. The US govt has followed a foreign policy which has the worst track record in modern history in promoting democracy or justice. Actually its abuse of power in achieving its imperial ambitions is no secret. Where possible by use of force (eg Iraq), and in many cases, by directly or indirectly (via sponsoring rebel groups) toppling democratically elected govts (eg, many latin american countries) and install puppet dictators (Saddam inclusive). Whereever explicit coercion is not possible, use of carrots (like nuclear deal to India); notice how they start showing the stick when India tries to follow an independent foreign policy vis-a-vis Iran. Domination of the world by making most countries (incl ours) its client state is the grand strategy for maintaining its hegemony.

This is what ProFool wrote in a China based opinion journal. There, as expected, the noted expert of all things blames everyone of nuclear nationalism...which is inherently bad for a leftist since that is a further indication of reducing of China's stranglehold on India's strategic option.
