IS THERE ANYTHING WE DON'T FORGIVE OUR ALLIES?
‘Breathtaking’ US sweetener on deal (K.P. NAYAR, 10/31/07, Telegraph)
President George W. Bush’s pointman for nuclear negotiations with Delhi has added a sweetener to the deal that the BJP may find difficult to turn down.Posted by Orrin Judd at October 31, 2007 7:47 PMIn a breathtaking departure, Nicholas Burns, the US under-secretary of state for political affairs, has held out the possibility that America may not end civilian nuclear cooperation with India even if Delhi tests another atomic bomb in the future.
“It would be up to the American President at that time,” Burns told National Public Radio (NPR) in an interview about the fate of the nuclear deal.
Hopeless. BJP is a nihilist party, standing for nothing.
And communists hate any cooperation with US.
Nice. The BJP is now publicly forced to choose between their ideology or their country.
Heh.(tm)

This concession still won't change the communists position, and Congress can't govern without them. The only way to break the impasse is to call an election, but Congress doesn't have the guts. The idea of an "anglosphere" that includes India is a pipe dream for at least another generation and the maturation of a political class not raised on a steady date of statism, anti-westernism and patronage.
