"India had a chance to stand tall and declare war on Pakistan earlier this year. Instead they punked out and wandered away into rhetoric. A bad mistake!"

So you think India should have told the United States and Great Britain to take a flying leap? Both the United States and Britain pressured and advised India that they should not attack Pakistan for fear of upsetting the war on terror being waged in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, even though Pakistan undoubtedly deserves the most severe of ass whuppings. I think it was incredibly brave and an amazing expression of solidarity with both the U.S. and Britain, for India to show such restraint and control under the circumstances. I have more respect for the Indian people as well as more trust in them as to their intentions to become an even greater and substantial ally with the West against militant Islamic Fundamentalism and Chinese Communism.

They should've told Powell Bush and Blair to bugger off.
