Earning the Right

I remember a remark that US President George Bush made, that US wanted to make India a superpower. As much as I appreciate President and USA, I think any such assumption is delusional or worse disingenuous. One can no more make anyone a superpower as he can make him a genius. That status has to be achieved. Respect is earned not petitioned.

Chompi,

I don't whether Mr Bush was speaking out of hubris or not, I think it was hubris mixed with naivity. However whatever his sentiments my assertion remain valid.
