I forgot to add in my last post to you: I greatly commend your appreciation of India, especially in this board that has its fair share of India haters.
cheers

India and US have a lot in common. We are like two brothers who have never known each other. We share values in democracy, freedom, have multi-ethnic populations that speak many languages, and finally are now even sharing in the joys of capitalism. That is enough for us to work closely with each other.

I agree whole heartidly. I had the pleasure and hoi=nor of spending a good three to four weeks in India (Bombay, Madras, Bagalore and New Delhi) in the late 1`990's on a consulting trip. Really enjoyed the people I worked with, was surprized at the extent of a lot of the continuing poverty, but really appreciated the efforts by those in the various companies at working through republicam principles, the true free market, and through work ethic and private enterpirze to address those issues. In the end, that is the only way they can be addressed.

That is one of the reason I am so admanent about pointing out and opposing any moves toward the Red Chinese.

Anyhow, thanks for the kind words and for the reasoned and civil response.
