"Laura Bush is not alone,...

...after all." At least many Indians love President Bush--his great foreign policy success. Though the idea that the American "empire" will live on through India as the "new America" is, frankly, ludicrous.

Also: scary Pakistani nuke stuff in the NY Times Sunday Magazine--and some dubiously responsible reporting about US signals intelligence capabilities (near the end of the article):

Obama’s Worst Pakistan Nightmare

The Times also spills a whole lot of beans about secret Isreali military planning, and US covert actions, against Iran. Hmmm. Though out of the goodness of their hearts...

Several details of the covert effort have been omitted from this account, at the request of senior United States intelligence and administration officials, to avoid harming continuing operations.
