Go ahead, make my day US is -cleverly -dropping its objections to China's missile buildup - so says the headline in NYTimes. This go-ahead, hell-with-you and make-my-day US stance is to me like life imitating art. It also let out the hot air from the vociferous objections. And as a fan of Clint Eastwood, I feel that US's attitude is good for America. If NMD is not a reality today, one day it will be a force to reckon with. Why quibble over it? Let the bad guy do what he wants and you do what is right for you. And try to stay one or two steps ahead of the bad dude and the wannabes. As a corollary, Us is imposing sanctions on the Chinese arms manufacturers with the hope that it will slow down or stop missile technology transfers to Pakistan. There is an implicit permission granted in this stance for India to go ahead and do what it wants to protect itself from its northern enemy in being and its western enemy in reality. India should do further research and development on nuclear and NMD technologies. The race, which is widely condemned, is a no-way-out for India and thereby puts Pakistan deep in the red. In this way, it is better to defeat the enemy without losing any lives in a war. Just outspend the bugger.
