India-Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline
An interesting note on the proposed gas pipeline from Iran to India through Pakistan, and how "the pipeline of peace" has created a diplomatic dilemma for the US and Prez Bush.
Lovely reading, but the important question is...does the Indian Government have the spine to stand up to what it believes in, or will it cave in to the tactics of the corporate west?
".......In other words, the US message to India is this: "You don't need to buy gas from Iran -- or look for oil in Syria for that matter -- if only you would let someone like Exxon Mobil Corp. have a go at your own oilfields."
Just as long as we are not asked to bear through another Enron-Dhabol fiasco....

I doubt whether we could stand up to them... there is big "?" despite the tall talks.
Considering that a guy like Natwar Singh is in charge of the Foreign affairs, it is hardly inspiring.
But considering that a guy like Manmohan Singh is his boss, I see some hope.
