What nonsense! The Indians have been playing the US like the French for over forty years. The Indians need the US a heckuva lot more than the US needs India. If the Indians want the benefits of a strategic partnership, then let them act like it when the chips are down, insteading of sucking up to the Russians and other anti-American countries. The Indians weren't with us during the Cold War (like the Pakistanis were) and they're not with us now (like the Pakistanis are).

And I disagree with what seems to be your view that we need to consider all Moslem countries as enemies and all non-Moslem countries as potential friends. This doesn't square with the record. I'm glad that President Bush doesn't buy into that nonsense.

Nonsense? So we should feed billions of dollras to the government that is considered one of the largest contributers to the al queda network (a fact no one can disprove). Theres no need to bring up the question of Muslim and Non-muslim countries in the case of Pakistan. Its an enemy in the war against terror, its been a major part of the terror network for decades.

And by the way, India has the second largest Muslim population, that my no means is greatly underrepresented. So theres nothing about muslim vs. non-muslim countries in this case.
