This is really very interesting, but the question is why bring up ancient US-Indian enmities on the eve of the Indian PM's visit with Pres. Bush.

2 reasons.

1)Pakistan (our "unwavering ally" in the war on terror).

2)China. (Our friendly trading partner who threatens to invade Taiwan and whose relationship with India is tense at best and is its biggest regional economic competitor).

This article is a shot across the bow asking America not to drive India away again for Pakistan and China.

A sort of " we could have been your friends, but you sacrifised us for people that wound up being closeted enemies".

It really does not get any more simple and straight forward than this. I am frustrated that so many people still don't get it. Who would we rather partner with - Confuciocommunists and Islamomoonbats, or the world's largest free country? Seems like a no brainer to me!
