Jumping On the Indian bandwagon

Seems Obama finally has the sense to acknowledge India as a world superpower. He invited Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the White House Tuesday. My favorite part was this quote from Singh:

"India and America are separated by distance, but bound together by the values of democracy, humanism, rule of law and respect of fundamental human freedoms."


Can I just say, I love how world leaders always kid themselves. This meetng was supposed to be used to discuss trade, counterterrorism (in reference to the Mumbai attacks), the long-delayed India-US nuclear agreement and technology. Yes. The Indian PM did just visit, and they are talking about all of those, but will they honestly make any progress with any of it? Probably not. This is all just to satisfy the people. The two leaders are discussing current issues, so something is going to be done about them, right? WRONG.
