Its amazing how callous and selfish the posts I see above. All we can worry about is some American
losing cozy jobs. Life in India is brutal, harsh and short. Decades of socialism have reduced them to
such a low standard of living that their slums and poverty are examples to the rest of the world of just
how bad things can get. Its become a cliché to have the charities of the world film is some germ
ridden spot in India and ask for your money to help. Now when these poor people who live in such
abject misery have a chance to earn a decent living doing honest work, without any kind of
government handout , we ignore their plight and worry instead that we won't be able to afford getting
coffee at Starbucks anymore. This from the very same people who are moved by the example of
Jesus suffering on our behalf in "The passion of Jesus Christ". Would Jesus be so blind to the plight of
India as we have been!

Most men will yell in pain when kicked in the stomach. That's just how it is.

My complaint about India is a simple one.

They expect "free trade" from us and for American companies to continue sending work over there.

At the same time, they keep a very stiff protectionist barrier in place.

Can't have it both ways.

My opinion: Either they drop their walls or we should cut them off. No double-standards.

And more so, I have tremendous respect for a country that:
  1. Stops begging us to hand out aid to them (like most of the African and South American states do)
  2. Manages to keep it's Republic running with regular elections when all other countries around it have falled to multiple dicatorships (Burma, Pakistan, Bangaladesh, Thailand, Singapore)
  3. That gives us the best bulwark against COMMUNIST CHINA and THE ISLAMC WORLD.
