The Arab world is anticipating (correctly) that India will shift to the West due to their pure strategic needs. Thus, the Arab world is making a preemptive diplomatic strike.

Mohan, "What's up with them Arabs?????" Reading the article, they simply identify with the Indians as a "developing" country. "Be like Mike" say the ads for Gatorade, or whatever it is that he is being used for [so much for ad identification, huh?]. Be like those developed countries, go git 'em, India, yeah yeah yeah! You might think that someone would look at the example of the Soviet Union--build great rockets, a space station and nuclear weapons, but let your economy rot away. But noooooo, its "Way to go guys. (Oh, and by the way, just how did you do that? We'd sorta kinda like one, too, so we won't be at the mercy of those big bad boys on the Security Council who think they're so tough? Come on, just a little hint, now...)" If you don't think find this whole thing terrifying, you aren't looking too far into the future. Time to emigrate to New Zealand. ============================================================ An excerpt from the Rediff article [for personal abuse and depression only]: ''We always knew India is great and had the potential to emerge a superpower. By conducting the nuclear tests, it has shown that developing and non-aligned nations are inferior to none,'' said 45-year old Amir Qadir. The large Indian community in Dubai also celegrated the country's nuclear tests. The staff at a duty-free shop in Dubai, which the Indian delegation to the G-15 summit visted on its way back home, made anxious inqiries regarding the whereabouts of Vice President Krishan Kant. ''We want to congratulate him,'' they told the delegation, adding that they were ''very proud'' of India's having exploded the nuclear bombs. ''We have celebrated the event here in Dubai," they said with a sense of pride.
