Listen kid. It's Bush's job to "make friends" with as many countries as possible. Now, admittedly, he doesn't do a great job, but speaking from at least an iota of knowledge, I think we should do what we can to get India on our side.

Besides, hypocrisy is the wrong word. If you let your friend borrow a buck, but not that creepy guy who is always hanging out at the bus stop, does that make you a hypocrite?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The thing is, the Indians are not barbaric enough for that possiblity to be a real threat. At least, their government isn't.

If they want to stay happy taking our jobs through outsourcing, they best behave themselves.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Okay, but does everyone understand that violent tendencies are inversely proportional to standard of living? And that (due to outsourcing, mostly) the standard of living in India keeps going up at an alarming rate?

Apparently he doesn't read threads either. He seems to have missed my air-tight friend vs. bum in bus station analogy.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's not hypocritical to support your friends and not your enemies. I don't see how I failed to convey that, but that's basically what I'm trying to say. It's the most obvious bit of common sense I can think of when dealing with foreign policy.

The imaginations of people who want to criticize the US never cease to amaze me.

I was speaking idiomatically.
