Well, I basically agree with everything you said. India as the worlds largest Democracy certainly should be a strong ally of ours, especially since we are becoming practically bonded to one another through the computer age. I also can understand why missionaries can be a pain but you gotta take it like a joke. Here is an ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY involving ME.
I lived in the Philippines for awhile, the Philippines is VERY CATHOLIC yet Baptists and others are constantly trying to convert them. My wife is from a small village called BOGO on the island of CEBU. We spent some time there and her uncle had us over for dinner. While there I met a BEAUTIFUL BLOND WOMAN. When she left the room I asked my wifes Uncle what she was doing there. He explained she was a missionary there HELP THEM. Now my wifes uncle is well to do and their home has everything you would expect, including running water, BUT this missionary goes out every morning and draws water from a well for the house. hehe. My wifes uncle just laughed and said, we let her do it, it makes her FEEL GOOD. hehe. jdn

If things DO go wrong with India or Pakistan, those two countries cannot be invaded by United States. Both of them are now too strong for that.

Now that the US is trapped in Iraq, it cannot invade any other country even half the size of Iraq, let alone India or Pakistan.
