Run! Change is here !

B. Raman rings the early warning bells . Now while people may dismiss this as too early, I find this very plausible. Based on campaign rhetoric of HopeNChange Obama must make a show of sharp departure from W administration. This means he has to make good on his promise of making Pakistan his priority. Problem in this case though is that America has limited leverage with 'our brothers across the border'. Finding himself without anything meaningful plan, Obama will do what he is wont to do, deceive by frenetic actions thus giving illusion of progress even if there is none.  In this case it will mean  return of good old days when American policy towards India and Pakistan  was zero sum game.

As the saying goes, "May you live in exciting times".

Update: Forgot to add, of course now Non proliferation Ayotollahs wll be on ascendancy again. It is going to be long four years for India. Fortunately Hillary will challenge Obama in 2012.
