Guarding against US interference in Indian foreign policy
Posted by: aman on: November 29, 2007
What I have always failed to understand is the almost unconditional support to the Indo-US nuclear deal. Anyone with the temerity to question it and set some conditions has to be labelled a communist sissy without so much as a second thought to the concerns raised. Whether those concerns are valid or not could only [...]

The highly delusional state of the US populace would be mildly entertaining, were it not for the gravity of the situation and the respect of basic human rights and the tenets of International law and democracy. United States is called the “land of the free and home of the brave”. Bravery, it seems, has taken [...]

Posted by: aman on: November 22, 2007
Economist has a good analysis of the gradual shift in India’s foreign policy which is keeping up with the time at least on some levels. As The Economist mentions in the footnote to the article, some idealists are less than happy with this gradual shift yet, it is worth keeping in mind that is quite [...]

I have been using a cell-phone for over 10 years now and have been with at least 5 different companies but never ever have I encountered a company as inept and greedy as Fido. The list of my complaints is almost endless but I won’t bore you with all of them.
However, today they did something [...]
Why US will not remain dominant in tech..
Posted by: aman on: October 17, 2007
That actually would have been a better title for Robert Scoble’s post. Instead he said “Why US will remain dominant in tech..“. Scoble’s blog; Scobleizer, is one the most popular on WordPress it seems. I have found some of his articles quite intriguing but this post was, well, I’ll say it; ridiculous.
Scoble actually saw a [...]

Excellent article by Alan Bock on Antiwar.com about Blackwater and the impact of mercenaries. Even the much despised Machiavelli warned against the dependence on mercenaries like the US is currently doing in Iraq and within the US at the same time with Blackwater.
This is what Machiavelli said:
”Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous,” he wrote, [...]
The Age of Arm-chair activism

The age of arm-chair activism has arrived and is flourishing. That is especially true; it seems, in the USA. The evidence of this is quite clearly visible by the innumerable blogs that are devoted in their opposition to the war and the current President of the USA – George W. There are also, literally, thousands [...]
