An Israeli raid looks very likely, those chaps mean business especially when it comes to nukes. And now that the S-300 is not coming, Ahmadinejad must be banging his head.

Israel has scored a major diplomatic victory with this ban. The road to Tehran now lies open. The Ayatollah's can kiss their nukes goodbye.

Oh ok. An interesting point of view.

No one is talking about forms of government. Do read carefully, the example was only quoted to show public opinion can have a moderating effect on the foreign policy of the government. I dont quiet follow. What are you getting at? Care to eloberate.

ek_indian has already rubbished the nonsense that you have posted. I don't need to say more. Btw, why hide behind Thai flags? Is it because you are too ashamed to display your own?

Welcome. All the attempt at trolling on this thread was incomplete without the presence one of the pioneers of the troll brigade. Now with your participation i can safely say that you chaps have truly arrived. Good luck sensible discussion!!

Never commented on the nature of your treatment of either Vietnam or South Korea, i am not aware of the entire problem and it would be immature of me to do so without looking at it holistically. Maybe you are correct or maybe you are wrong, i for one am hardly qualified to comment. Probably i...

Ya maybe the Netherlands is not important enough on the Afghan front. I merely quoted it as an example of how in a democratic framework public opinion can have a moderating & correcting effect on wrong foreign policy. A foreign policy that people don't agree with. Indeed the United States is...

I am not sure what the US & India are looking for, but I am pretty sure of what you are looking for - an India, China flame war on the thread. Sorry to disappoint you, but you are not getting one.

Bang on target. I am surprised. Except for the last line, i pretty much agree with your assessment. This kind of attitude is the result of having a pacifist prime minister like Manmohan Singh & it is very good in sense that we don't want to get involved in unnecessary squabbles, power...

Yes that is true that no countries foreign policy is entirely democratic, but in democratic societies public opinion plays a very major part in not allowing a draconian foreign policy to be implemented. It checks the excesses that a government might indulge in terms of foreign policy. Lets...

Yes strong words indeed. The policy of "peaceful rise" cant be termed as a farce. That would be going too far. But apprehensions do remain - China has gotten more assertive with its neighbors. I know some of my Chinese friends are going to contest this claim, but that how the majority of us feel...

Well said. Russia has been a good friend in the past & i hope that this friendship only keeps growing in the future too.

ya cheap when compared to the expenses in the west, though the quality of health care is nearly as good or sometimes even better. specialized medical care not available in Pakistan is available in India. Wasim Akrams wife was treated in her last stages of cancer in India due to the inability of...

Like we are asking you to come. Anyways we have enough Pakistani's visiting India for economic opportunities & medical services - not all of them are branded spies and thrown behind bars.

The targets that they are meant for lie well within their range.

well mate, you forgot add - farmer suicides, child malnutrition & a few other favored troll phrases. but in the excitement to troll such momentary laps of trolling ability is understandable. still, thanks for contributing to the topic though.

The first two papers are from Hong Kong. I am sure that you are aware that quiet a few mainland rules don't apply there & the same goes for the media too, Falun Gong is not banned there for instance. As for China Morning Post it might be liberal & all that, but that is not "official news"...

The article clearly states that Xinhua enjoys a monopoly on official news & not over all the news. Can you produce evidence to counter that claim?
