Opportunism and Posing

Dear Indians,
 
When we accuse America of being a bully and in the next sentence whine about how America is not rescuing India from terrorism we do ourselves a disservice.
Not because it is hypocrisy or opportunism (indeed international politics is nothing if not these), but because it is pointless moral melodrama, which is devoid of any undestanding about international relations and worse even our self interest.
So if we want to beat America with some stick atleast be consistent and choose one stick.
 
And while we are ar it, please stop criticizing Israels. Israelis protect their fellow citizens, which is more than we can say about ourselves.
As I said Israel rocks
 
Update: Nitin has a much more sensbile take
