What is Clinton waiting on. He imposed sanctions on India while he was in Germany, and Pakistan's sanctions should have been imposed first thing this morning. US law requires him to do it immediately.

Mohan good morning. A very astute bit of analysis from Zeev but perhaps he's got the countries a bit wrong. I'd add the Gulfies... "One of the little problems Vajpayee forgot to consider is that Pakistani bomb is also the "Muslim" bomb. I would not be surprised to see Indonesia and Pakistan shaking hands just over Indian territory. Well, when you seed misery it is what you harvest". I wonder what the subcontinent's Muslim inhabitants are now feeling today? Horrible to say. Relieved I suppose. Further to yours and my ongoing idea that, basically, India is too big too disparate to remain a single political entity..."Besides population is the quality of people (in India). With population under control, the Deccan states will now be able to concentrate on improving the quality of their people. In this regard, mention must be made of Kerala which has achieved nearly 100 per cent literacy. In a decade or two, the other Deccan states, along with Gujarat and Bengal, will follow suit. Thus, these states will produce more of India's most educated and qualified professionals, people eager to join the ranks of people in well-off nations. On the other hand, despite pockets of excellence, north-central India is teeming with illiterate people, just hungry mouths to be fed, people who migrate out seeking salvation. Mainly rural, these are the people who demand government subsidies and a strong role for the state. So now, besides the historical differences of language and ethnicity, we face the risk of disparities in population and economy. Quantity with north, giving them overwhelming control of Parliament; quality with the south and sea-bound states, giving them economic power. Unless the differences can be narrowed, it is a cause for worry". My best to you,
