President Obama's 3-day visit to India was more business-oriented than political. For the sake of diplomacy he paraphrased India's concerns over Pakistan and the constant US aid to our neighbor. by saying that a stable Pakistan is better for India. However what he means and US foreign policies in the past have always meant that a stable Pakistan is a good counter force to undermine India's speedy development. An unstable Pakistan right now is too busy handling its own issues and not able to concentrate on spreading terrorism in India. Here is to our armed forces and intelligence men who have kept danger at bay despite the constant threats that we hear everyday.

Also it is interesting to note that while his fellow Americans pronounce Pakistan as P[æ]kist[æ]n as in cat, Obama says Pa:kista:n as most Indians would say it. Hmmm... yes I know, totally jobless I am.
