Herd mentality. Try adding 2+ 2 now.

Last few days, there has been incessant shouting about alleged foreign policy mistakes of the Manmohan team. We tried to make out what all the shouting was about. This is what we found.

Here is a link 1 It concludes “Nonalignment is no ideology. It is an idiosyncrasy.”

Here is link 2 that says Bharat Varma says a chinese attack on India is imminent.

Here is what TOOTBWAHNP's satellite poster says in his post Another Manmohan capitulation.

"Other write ups in this newspaper have the "redoubtable" SM Krishna saying that there's nothing wrong in opening ones kimono WIDE (as in REALLY WIDE) to intrusive american inspections.
If this is how totally Manmohan and Co are selling us down the drain in a deal so simple, imagine how total the sell-out in the nuke deal, once the technical gobbledegook is removed, must be. "

Now, if a Chinese attack is imminent, and if non-aligned stance is useless, and if Amercian weapons could help avert attack, and if America won't sell weapons unless an end-use inspection agreement is signed, where is the capitulation? is 2+ 2 = 5?

Or is it that you will oppose Congress even when it is clearly doing the best to forward Indian interests?

We will be glad to show the mistakes of the shouting brigade if there is more interest in it. Let us know.

Advani and his blog

How do you know whether a leader means what he says? Just look at his actions over a period of time and you can draw your own conclusions. Advani has been talking about Hindus and India at the top of his voice for last 20 years. Many believe him. Many think he is inspirational and so on and so forth. Many others strongly believe that it is only a gimmick for grabbing attention and votes.

A few weeks before the recent elections Advani started a blog. We checked the last post on that blog recently. The date was 22nd April. It is about three months from that date and Advani hasn't felt a need to connect with his web audience. Some leader, he is. . He can fool some people all the times. Let us salute him.
