Well, I am surprised that I could still log in here. This blog has the old blogspot banner (and if you follow the link, it would land nowhere).

I am not sure if this is going to be the same after this post, which will be 3 years and 6 months as you can see.

I have saved a screen just in case the old banner vanishes.

Thursday, April 10, 2003

The tenth day of April, 2003 is indeed looking a lot different from the other Aries months in the last many decades. The reason being the unbelievable scenes of Baghdad yesterday that followed the extraordinary events after 911. The Afghan war and subsequent regime change there with almost full approval of the world community, the squandering of the goodwill earned by Uncle Sam for its invasion of Iraq attracting global loathing, effecting deep divisions in the international community etc. and now the 'Opposition Camp' welcoming the change of air in Iraq is much too much to comprehend at one go. I am keeping my fingers crossed. The average Indian like me has shown remarkable disinterest in the events in the Gulf with only sporadic outbrusts against the war. It had its few supporters as well, but then, the more or less spineless government that is running year at this moment, having failed to take a stance as the world's premiere democracy and an emerging global economic and military power, is looking for an opportunity to play the game of mouth-aching rhetoric against pakistan. I fail to understand what makes the old and the motivationless leaders to stoop to such lowly levels. After ensuring that the future of the country is best served by being at the servitude of Uncle Sam at his feet, they should at least try to fraction of the spine and guts the US has. It has never been so embarrassing to be an Indian at this moment now. the present time is neither a comfortable period for self-restpecting people who has followed his own school of thoughts and not what he imported by the gang of western thugs now. Let's also see if the Great Russian Federation shows some traits that it possessed as a part of a super power when it comes to the execution of the multi-billion dollar oil contracts it signed with the regime bygone and this implies to france as well.
