Just what part of importing their politcal system is incorrect? This is not xenophobia, it is a statement of fact. Do you think that the number of democrats who are from India is a higher proportion than the number of repbulicans? I think so and the votes and VC money spent in 2000 and 2002 would support my assertion.

I would like them to consider that we would not be interested in the Indian social or business system being imported to the USA. As a matter of fact if they are so smart why have they not been able to make true social change in India? They still think that it is better to keep KFC out because our food may harm people. Give me a break.

For the same reason the Germans that came here in 1930s failed to avert fascism in Germany; for the same reason that the folks from Russia who came in 1970s failed to dismantle communism in Russia; for that same reason that the Cuban immigrants failed to dethrone Castro; and for the same reason that the Puritans failed to convert the rest of the English and Europeans to their point of view.

We are all here because we ourselves or our forefathers failed to institute the desired reforms in the Old Country.

And, incidentally, the Russians and Cubans I mentioned are notoriously conservative and vote Rupblican, although they hail from communist countries. You model is, if not incorrect, is very incomplete.
