    Ain't my problem!! ;-)

    Jokes apart... I meant the US involving itself indirectly, fueling unrest everywhere in ME for its own selfish benefits... Weapon business + Oil + geo political supremacy.

    When everything has been reaped off & nothing much is left, US withdraws its troops. Isn't this is what happening in ME? All that the US living ppl seem to care are abt cars! Well people r dying elsewhere...

    This is just IMHO... I could b wrong, enlighten me. Let's make this thread useful!

    You are right! Its Politics 101.

    That's how history has been. Its US now, it was UK in the 19th century and probably China in the next century (although I believe US is far too savvy to let go of its advantages). All the colonies including India suffered the same fate that Middle east is currently suffering. But then the ME fiefdoms are not entirely innocent. They tried their best to court the US right from the time oil was discovered. See how Saudi does its best to alienate Russia!

    One point where I differ from you is the perception of those living in America. The US living ppl and its goverment are very different entities believing in different values! Like its often said, Americans are good people ruled by bad government.

    From what I have read/researched/understood.. They did / do so to avoid what happened in Afghanistan or Kuwait or Iraq. If u don't obey US, its ill fate isn't? Rather its better to b flexible with US, a win win for everyone although the share of win is greater for the big boss...at least peace is assured. So one cannot completely blame ME countries for their current situation..

    Agree about China strategically working its way to gain its Asian superpower status with its geo political nature intrusions in its neighboring countries. So is Saudi, dreaming to be the king of ME always, only Isreal wouldn't let that happen anytime sooner. Well, the same with Russia & the EU. Yeah u r rite, modern colonisations & indirect cold wars!!

    May b, but that's not what seems to be told in any medias. Biased I guess, would b nice if you can throw some insight. Like to know..

    Will be glad to have a discussion on politics.

    We always tend to blame indian politics being driven by money and power and people just being the viewers. I don agree upon this. As of i understand politics in the entire world is driven by money and politics, but also by people. Good knowledge, understanding and following the realities many changes can be brought about... and positive and constructive approaches many can be changed...

    Agree with you. Am not endorsing either. But after 2G scam, Im disgusted with Congress & DMK. The TN opposition leader is a great comedian himself, has made the assembly sessions a big joke that I wish he gets nothing in the coming election so he has to never enter the assembly ever!! All that's left is ADMK.. There is still a tiny hope in me that she might have learned some lessons out of all that happened. Not much has been done in favour of the people of TN, but some steps are still appreciable. At least she gives bk our money in form of freebies during election unlike the DMK it doesn't add on to the family properties!!

    Is it not too early to comment? I don't know... I feel we have to give them time to formulate themselves as a party... Chaos & unclarity is casual in anything new isn't? He learnt his lesson abt his responsibilities already.. May b sooner abt running a party & govnt.. People still seem hopeful. But do share more of views abt AAP, I don't have much clarity here. Like to know...
