Obama Gets a Warm Welcome, but Indians Pine for Bush http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-01-26/obama-gets-a-warm-welcome-but-indians-pine-for-bush ....... "Indians are pro-Bush," said Gurcharan Das, a prominent writer. "He saw that with China rising, America needed a big country to be an ally. He hyphenated India with China and de-hyphenated it with Pakistan and Indians loved that." Whatever the view may be of him elsewhere, in India the 43rd president is seen as a straight-talking statesman. In 2008, Modi's predecessor as prime minister, Manmohan Singh, assured Bush: "The Indian people deeply love you." That affection has endured. The landmark 2005 nuclear cooperation agreement, which reversed more than three decades of U.S. policy by granting India access to American civil technology, is a big part of Bush's lasting appeal. So is the Bush persona. The things that drive other foreigners nuts—the unshakable certitude, the folksy language—Indians like. "George W. Bush occupies a special place in the minds of many Indian foreign policy elites," Sadanand Dhume, an India-born specialist on the country at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. "In a nutshell, Bush took India seriously." Bush gets credit here for using political capital to secure for India an exception from restrictions that followed its 1974 nuclear test and left the aspiring power feeling like a pariah. He resisted calls to prevent outsourcing to India, instead pushing for expanded trade, which had remained at low levels following the 1991 start of market-oriented reforms. "Republicans are seen as taking a big push to get relations to the next level," said Radha Kumar, director general of the Delhi Policy Group, a non-partisan think tank. "The civil nuclear deal allowed India to come in from the cold." Still, Indian love wasn't blind. When Bush visited the country in 2006, he was greeted by protestors opposed to the invasion of Iraq. U.S. support for India's arch-rival Pakistan, seen as a key counter-terror partner, also rankled. "He is thought to have seen India strategically, given it high level attention; moved past what in India are called the Arms Control wallahs," Tanvi Madan, an India expert at the Brookings Institution, wrote in an email. .......

distance is the main reason we fight with guns. With knives you have to do it up close and personal. It may take a time to bleed out with many knife wounds. With the exception of well placed wounds. You are correct that it is much easier for an untrained person to use a firearm for deadly results.

Police: Concealed permit holder stopped armed robbery of Vernal restaurant By Geoff Liesik January 25th, 2015 @ 10:46pm VERNAL — A man with a concealed weapons permit stopped the armed robbery of a Vernal restaurant Sunday, according to police. A woman armed with a knife entered Arby's, 1141 W. Hwy 40, just before noon and demanded money, Assistant Vernal Police Chief Keith Campbell said. An Arby's customer, who spoke to the Deseret News on the condition that his name not be used, said he was ordering food at the drive-thru about the same time and noticed the restaurant employee had stopped responding to him. The man said he parked his truck and went into the restaurant to finish his order. He said when he made eye contact with an employee, she mouthed the words, "We're being robbed." "I went out to my truck and got my gun," the man said. When he went back into the restaurant, the man said the woman with the knife turned toward him. He showed her the butt of his gun, he said, and told the woman not to move. "She picked up a bag and came at me," the man said. "That's when I pointed my gun at her." The man said he was able to gain control of the woman's knife, but continued to hold her at gunpoint. He said he put his gun down as the first officer entered the restaurant to avoid the possibility of being shot. I went out to my truck and got my gun. –Concealed permit holder Campbell offered the police department's thanks to the man who intervened, but also noted that because personal safety is always a priority for officers "citizens must recognize that any person holding a firearm upon (the officers') arrival is apparently involved until proven different." Police arrested Stephanie Lee Lente, 37, of Vernal. She was booked into the Uintah County Jail for investigation of aggravated robbery and possession of a controlled substance. Court records show Lente was charged in Vernal City Justice Court on Jan. 21 with abuse of a psychotoxic chemical solvents and retail theft, both class B misdemeanors. She also has prior misdemeanor convictions for assault, criminal mischief, violation of a protective order and wrongful appropriation, according to court records. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=33233102&title=police-concealed-permit-holder-stopped-armed-robbery-of-vernal-restaurant
