QUESTION 1:I'm not sure how firmly aligned we are with India yet

QUESTION 2:Are you for it, against it, or simply don’t care?

Iran is a thorn in the free world's side for sure but let's set that problem aside for a moment. India and the United States are destined to be close allies. If for no other reason than the incredible success Indian-Americans have found here in the United States and the incredible number of my American friends who have spent time in India. I have a close friend who lives near Dehli and he loves it there.

Indian politics are as engaging as ours here in the States if not more so. I wish I had more time to keep up with all that goes on there. Someone mentioned democracy and the other day I noticed India's Parliament is online and the email addresses of reps are openly available. While internet connectivity is still out of reach for many in India, the industrious spirit and strong work ethic of Indians makes India a desirable ally under almost any circumstance. I am not only for strong relations between India and the United States; I believe we are already seeing the rewards of our close ties. The ties I am talking about are just under the surface but are too strong and too vast to keep quiet for long. The future is bright!

It really is!

I was skeptical before, but not any more. We may bump against each other in the future too, but I can see each bump diminishing in magnitude evermore so.

Most of whom are still loyal to India, instead of the US, at least the many that I have met/know.

"I am not only for strong relations between India and the United States; I believe we are already seeing the rewards of our close ties. "
