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.

You support this because you don't have any family member in Indian army. It doesn't matter to both of you if Indian soldier died anywhere in world as long as you sleep with your AC turned on.
Think of Indian soldier who has to fight not for nations boders but for your extra comfort.
This will bound to happen when business man will start running country.

The purpose of Indian army is to protect and expand the long term interest of India. India is an economic superpower. We also have the 2nd largest army. We are no longer a poor nation that has to defend its border only. China and Pakistan will never dare to attack India because we are a nuclear power. Nuclear powers never wage war among themselves. We have to follow the example of mighty nations of history. Rome was even in Africa to protect its economic ionterest. British navy controlled the sea routes. USA has bases and naval presence everywhere in the world. We just cannot behave like a minor player any more. It is true that many brave soldiers will sacrifice their lives. But the nation will appreciate and respect their sacrifice. their motto is we scarifice our presence for your future.
