Will there or will there not be ?   .... [war] ....

Vajpayee made another of his flip-flops a couple of days ago.  Speaking to the Jawans he talks of a decisive battle and then, the next day, says that the skies are clear [although he throws in a hint about lightning].
Today he said that India should have taken action immediately after 13-Dec.  So what has stopped India the past one week ?
Musharraf is scheduled to make a speech on Monday evening.  With the missile tests [for the benefit of his nation] under his belt he will again talk of action against terrorists and Uncle Sam will let him off the hook.  Wily guy, him.  And Vajpayee comes across as the little boy who is always complaining and complaining.  [Musharraf is "doing something" and Vajpayee is only "crying"].

I think that, in the long run, India might well be as distrustful of the US as the US was of India in the '60s and '70s.

"Roses in December"
I've already included a mention of "Roses in December" in my recommendations page.  Shree M. C. Chagla may not have been as famous as Nehru, Gandhi and the INC leadership.  But he was present and seeing and listening when India gained Independence and later, right up to the early '70s.  Need I emphasise that Shree Chagla was a Muslim ?
