#1 India should look at everything the US imports from China and start producing the stuff itself. Combine that with a free-trade deal with the US and India could become a great power by the end of the decade, mostly at the expense of China.

Win-win.

#3 hopefully the GOVERNMENT of India will do no such thing. India has done as well as it has lately, by letting entrepreneurs make whatever is profitable.

#4 With a free-trade zone, I think that the entrepreneurs would take care of the issue.

#5 Finally, someone is identifying the real enemy. I had heard we might be talking about a south asia form of NATO to contain China. That would br progress. Of course, we would have to have the foresight to disband the alliance once the Chinese communists are defeated.

#6 Why we have been involved in a 50 pissing match with the Indian government is something I for one have never understood. Of course the Indians will have their own opinions as they should but policies in Washington have repeatedly driven them to the oppisite side of issues. One thing we could do is promote India as a new permement member of the UN Security Council. Of course that would tick off the IslamoFascists. But they already hate us anyway.......

#7 Boot the French from the UN, nominate India to take their place.

Worlds largest democracy should have a seat at the big table, not some irrelevant country like France.

#8 Or better yet UK can surrender its seat... ;)

Other than that I find it very amusing, how half the time France is called the all-powerful dominating country in a union of nations greater in population than the United States, and the rest of time it's called "irrelevant"... :-D

Anyway, once EU has a common foreign policy, France and UK can give up their seats to the EU, and the vacant space be given to India... :-)

#9 Aris: Seriously, what's up with you and this "Perfidious Albion" thing? I thought that meme died with the Kaiser.
