UK, I can see. Japan, I can see. But India?

I didn't know the US even had very good relations with India.

Interesting.

The US had a good and improving relationship with India, now a more populous nation than China. India has two traditional enemies; China and Islam. We share this mutual interest.

India is China's greatest potential economic competitor, they have a much more modern military than China and a British heritage. As for Japan, Inc, we own them.

"I didn't know the US even had very good relations with India."

American corporations do. The Indians can do everything cheaper, better, faster according to corporate deep thinkers. My company has shifted 6000 jobs to India.

We do and have had for a number of years.

The British writer of the article mentioned "Pax Americana" three times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Americana
"The term Pax Americana . . . It places the U.S. in the military and diplomatic role of a modern-day Roman Empire or British Empire (based on Pax Romana and Pax Britannica, respectively) . . . The term Pax Americana is used by critics of U.S. policy to describe an effort they allege is made by the U.S. to suppress countries that do not cooperate with U.S. policy, . . .


Most British writers--Conservative to Labour--use the phrase for the purpose of defaming the USA. Others use it in hopes that we'll help them get their "empire" back and in their twisted belief that we want an "empire." Either way, it comes out to all other countries as anti-USA propaganda. And why didn't you already know about it? ...because almost all of them are using it purposefully to defame us to other potential allies, and they don't really want us to see it.

Yes, Tony Blair sent troops to Iraq, but most Britons were and are very much against that.

Hello?

India is big strong and growing like gang busters.

They were pro-Soviet in the past but W and his great adminstration have changed the formula.

This 4-Power approach is right on target.

Good point. Indians are shoe makers, accountants, friggin' patsies. As for the Japs, you give them a little encouragement, they'll pull out their anscestor's katanas, put bandanas on their heads, and start bayonetting babies and decapitating prisoners all over east asia! When the going gets tough, you gotta remember which of your friends are the more reliable.
