Obama's epochal win and a defensive India
Brahma Chellaney
Covert magazine, November 16-30, 2008
Barack Obama's landslide victory in the presidential election
symbolizes a non-violent revolution in U.S. politics. Despite the idle
speculation in India that the president-elect may appoint ex-President
Bill Clinton as his special envoy on Kashmir and step up
non-proliferation pressures on New Delhi, the blunt fact is that India
does not figure in his leading priorities.

Brahma certainly sounds a little meandering himself, in this article. What's he advocating? Why doesn't he just spit it out? Is he saying that we should bluntly rebuff the Americans, as I'd like to do? Or is he trying to say, "aww, why don't you stop being so insecure, and just let them come to Kashmir?"
That's okay, Brahma, I'm quite fine with being insecure. Only the paranoid survive, as Intel's former CEO used to say. Better safe than sorry.
Hell, if the Americans are so into mediation, why don't we offer to mediate between them and Iran, and see how they like that?
Oh, I guarantee they wouldn't be too pleased at our meddling in issues near and dear to their hearts.
