By their various commissions and omissions, both US and China have helped Pakistan become a nuclear power. Prof. Cohen, although Jewish, may be because of it, always ends up making recommendations favourable to Pakistan. He suggests sharing "civilian nuclear technology" with Pakistan in return for "assurances" as to its "nuclear assets". The USA is dragging India over hot coal, with FOUR DIFFERENT Agreements and "protocols" for the same "civil nuclear technology". It pays to be a "Baymaani" and "Saithaani" now and then to command the respect of the "international community". The West would be nice to a "potential goonda" but would ignore a gentleman. Professor Cohen is not suggesting anything new, more of the same from him. Perhaps, he should retire now. He cannot get out of the 1970s mind-set he formed as a younger scholar - equating India and Pakistan, as two squabbling powers that ought to be maintained in a "balance". A bankrupt Scholar that has caused a bankrupt American policy in SouthAsia. Perhaps, one should be blunt in saying that American foreign policy has failed in Asia and Middle-East. Nincompoops - Six feet of walking Idiocy - most of their officials and secretaries of state. Pakistan has robbed them blind of their monies for the last 60 years.

How very true... it is a shame that Americans still consider themselves as fair people. They are just panderers... and pander to the cause that will help maintain peace. All peace loving nations are 'uselss' entities for their policy decisions. Infact even Congress party in India subscribes to this approach. Only those that create trouble are pandered to. Therefore India is bereft of direction under Congress rule. It took Sastriji and PV Narsimha Rao ji to bring a sense of pride to the citizens of this nation. When will the pseudo-Gandhi(Nehru dynasty has mis-appropriated the Gandhi name) coterie be kicked out of office? Its time for all honorable citizens and those that expect India to be a nation one can be proud-of, to marginalize the Sonia's, Margaret Alva's, Arun Nehru, Arjun Singh, Gulam Nabi Azad, etc. Keeping Rahul and Priyanka out of the congress party will be the correct step. If the Congress party does wither away, all for the good! Congress party was supposed to unite the nation, not divide it. Nehru helped break India in many countries and Indira created Frankestien rule. Rajiv moved like a headless chicken. Dr.Man Mohan Singh as Prime minister, the less said the better. What a caricature of India these leaders have made! Oh yes lets not forget the VP Singhs, ChandraShekar and thoroughly exposed sleepy head from Karnataka - Such a shame...
