Posted by New Brunswick Station on Thu Mar 2 10:20:14 2006, in response to Subtalk politics: at a glance, posted by aem7ac on Mon Feb 27 09:45:15 2006. Dubya nucular deal w/ India: Not sure whether I'm FOR or AGAINST.Items in favor: a) India is a big country, b) it's a democracy (unlike the big country just over the Himalayas which claims Tibet as part of its territory), c) alliances with multiple countries, often rivals of one another, can help promote the peace, or tip the balance of world power so as to favor America ("divide and conquer lite"). d) Siding with India can give us an excuse to eventually turn our back on the People's Republic of China (or at least pay less attention to the economy there), e) I kinda like Bollywood movies (ok, weak reason, but omgwtfbbq.) Items against: a)it's illegal (technically, since India never signed the Nuke Nonproliferation Treaty), b) numerous Indians and probably Congresspeople are against the idea (and it comes after the Dubaicacle), and c) friendlier relations with India may contribute to further outsourcing of jobs to said country. |
