US Elections Concern for India

Author`s suggestion that Bush/republicans are good for Pakistan and/or India is based on flawed assumptions.

Bush has done nothing except burn money in non-productive persuits. These 100 billio dollars could have been much better spent in promoting research in alternate energy sources, medicine and agriculture in arid lands. Possiblity of agriculture in arid Sahara and arabian peninsula would have reduced dependence of population of those counteries on oil income that is controlled by few families. Any reduction in dependence on oil would have also reduced influence of fanatic arab nations and the royal families.
US could have much better controlled Iraq without going to war.

Policies followed by Bush have convinced every nation on earth that only deterrence against US is to get nuclear weapons as soon as possible.

Bush/USA will favor Pakistan as long as they have some use for Pakistan. After that they will not hesitate using it as a testing/training ground for new troups and weapon systems.

[So guys, if kerry is elected, I shall ask Indian friends to better say good bye to million dollar jobs falling in the laps of their proud middle class.........]

Another Paki wet dream!! Unlike in the subcontinent, in the US, it is economics that dictates politics and not the other way round.

[I hope that the Indian military people are aware that the performance of the patriots during the first gulf war did not match its hype. According to well informed critics, their real performance was quite poor as opposed to first reported by the US.]

That was in 1990. The Patriots have since been upgraded and according to some weapon analysts, it is now much better.

[Who is the creator of Pentium chip (needs no introduction as 90% of
the today`s computers run on it)?]

About 5,000 Intel engineers who had worked on the Intel 8086, 80286, 80386 and 80486 chips and who did the chip design on the Pentium. Vinod Dham was the project manager who was kissing a$$ whenever there was a schedule slip-up because his a$$ was on the line.

...but knowing that these people were prepared to purchase non-existent weapons from a non-existent firm, as per tehelka, one cannot be too certain!

one thing that kerry or bush would love to outsource is chowkidari of baghdad. pakistan should thank india that this was rejected outright by india when paki generals were contemplating it about a year back. had india shown any inclination, GHQ would surely have one-upped and sent a big contingent ``tej-chal`` on $3000 per-man-month stipend and that mistake would have been huge that even HH pre. musharaf could not have wiggled out of. so pls send a thank you note with langada mangoes to pres. kalam for iftar.

Inventions like these would certainly come handly when the west loses its competitive edge in other goods and services:).

sorry for joining in late into this debate where-ever it is going...
I have a simple question to ask..

We have heard kerry and Bush.....

Earlier kerry was flipflopping, now he has made it clear that his ways to go at war with Iraq would be different from Bush....

However both agree that the Iraq war was a correct decision, they disagree on the methodology..........

anyway here a wise guy said that outsourcing is a mere election issue, nothing is gonna move.........in other words Bush and Kerry are both sides of the same coin and putting a big show..........
otherwise American policies are nothing to do with elections....


My response excuse me........!

Well may be you are right about the foreign policy, but `outsourcing ` is a domestic policy issue and its gonna stay there...... Kerry has made ``American Jobs` to be one of the key election issues.....

So guys, if kerry is elected, I shall ask Indian friends to better say good bye to million dollar jobs falling in the laps of their proud middle class.........

But as one wise guy said, how can you stop the outsourcing phenomenon,,,,maybe he was referring to law of economics which suggest that it is impossible and impracticle making outsourcing a non issue basically....

Well then kerry`s economic team sucks......

So friends, I would like to ask what is the difference between Bush and Kerry......in the real sense......

One who fliflops and one who doesn`t......

When stakes are high, one tends to be a risk averser not risk taker...and for Indians the risks are high so they better contemplate hard whom to vote.....

as far as Pakistan is concerned, it really doesn`t matter who comes.......whether americans select flipflop or flat..........Pakistan remains a key ally
