Thanks for the ping.

Here is an idea for Indians: promote Jeff's book so as to induce mass hysteria about an Indo-Chinese alliance. Go on talk shows, write to newspapers, whatever. Induce the hysteria. Then, force uncle Sam to pay more attention to India (or else......). By attention, I mean:

1. Teach Indian accent in all schools. No more appu jokes, we shall all speak Hinglish.
2. Curry to be made national dish, just like in England. All Chinese restaurants to be converted into take-outs
3. Sarees and bindis (dots) to be compulsory in fashion shows.

I'll think of more, that is for starters. And yes, I do want a slurpee with that.
/sarcasm off.

Sheeeesh, the gullibility of some folks.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.

I feel that any movement or gravitation of India towards China is a bad thing for US interests. As simple as that, and I feel we should make moves to offset it (and I believe we are in fact making such moves under this administration).

I can say all of that without snide, belligerent, or insulting comments towards you and your opinion. IMHO, doing so would not only lessen my position in the eyes of others, it would lessen me personally.

No offense intended, just my opinion on the ematter.
