Just hold on I am no Prakash Karat but I am also not enamored enough by Uncle Sam to forget our national interests. We can not lean on USA to fight our own battles.

Even from their support we have to pay a price may it be diplomatic, political financial or all of that politics is an art & craft of possibilities.

In the cold US was the supporter of Pakistan & played a crucial role in 71. All along Pakistan has been given aid which has been used against India.

To expect it to dump Pakistan will be foolish. In fact as the so called AF Pak strategy has shown. USA may like to its forces from Afghanistan giving the Taliban its control leading to undivided spot light on India.

Whether on Kyoto protocol, CTBT or Doha India & USA are at loggerheads. Despite so much closeness between India & USA, Pakistan has delivered nothing on Bombay attacks.

The Egyptian fiasco is also prompted by Uncle Sam. So as the Dr. says there is no free lunch. Let us be prepared to fight our own battle expecting little from the world.
