Alas, your average Indian-American is very, very different from your average Indian in India.

He or she is aware of the world, has a couple of satellite dishes up, makes better than average income, and is most likely engaged in a profession of some sort.

I think they are very aware that in the long run Indonesia and India have some very fundamental differences ~ hence the concern the Indians here have over Osamabama's solicitude of Indonesia, and people who make fun of and ridicule Indians.

BTW, Hillary is up to her eyeballs with Indonesian interests to. Can you say Mokhtar Riady? How about Lippo?

An average Indian American (at least those born here in US) is more American then an Indian Indian and in that respect is psychologically further away from Indonesia, then for an Indian Indian.

For an average American no matter how much aware of world events (which is honestly very uncommon), Indonesia is half the world away. Indian American or Indian Indian neither of them would be too concerned over a Senator's comment on a far away Indonesia then say Bush Government’s support for Pakistan.

Its not that Indians are paranoid of any and every Muslim country on the planet. This sounds like another of your weird reasoning.
