I'll not apologize to India for anything Kissinger has done. While the Soviets was murdering and Gulaging millions of their own people, there's no excuse for India having sided with Moscow. Yes, India is making progress today. Good, very good. I trust that it will continue as long as India finds it convenient to side with America. After that, who knows?

Yes, I know about the blowback issue and 9/11. Don't blame Kissinger for that. Monica Lewinsky probably had more to do with that than he did. While India was trying to deal with its own problems, we've had a world of issues to handle.

Maybe India will get its act together and work with the west to support global democracy. Or maybe not. Meanwhile, don't complain to me about a single thing we did during the Cold War. India chose wrong, and the consequences hurt.

We had a whole world to save.
 
Yeah right! Looks like you have been watching too many Hollywood movies. Thanks for saving the world.  </sarcasm>
 
I'm sorry we didn't do exactly what India wanted us to do at that exact moment.
 
Well actually........ I'm sorry WE didn't do exactly what US wanted us to do at that exact moment. You guys did nothing except threatening us. And WE DID what  we need to do.
 
Remember, you're either with us or you're against us.
 
But you guys are still with Pakistan arnt you. You are still with them dude. Look who is talking!
 
Not choosing is choosing.
Exactly. So isnt it high time you choose between India and Pakistan?
 
India just chose the wrong path, as expedient as it may have been.
 
Yep and so Bangladesh is today free and more democratic than "YOUR ALLY" Pakistan.
 
We've forgiven, but we sure haven't forgotten.
 
You forgiving us! Are you drunk?
 
While the Soviets was murdering and Gulaging millions of their own people, there's no excuse for India having sided with Moscow.
 
And what excuse did US have to side with a tyrannical regime in Pakistan that butchered millions of Bengalis?
 
India chose wrong,
 
No we didn't, it was the US which chose wrong and we did the right thing.

Look at the situation int he 70s -- India needs to counter China, but it can't turn to the US (as it did during the 63 and 65 wars), so it has to turn to China's OTHER neighbor (the enemy of my enemy is my friend) because the US under Nixon is pro-Communist China. Nixon pushed India into the arms of the USSR
