Mumbai: Information and Origins of Islamic Attackers

India is releasing some of the details of the Mumbai attack by Islamic terrorists probably tied to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Lashkar-e-Taiba is an al-Qaeda type transnational Islamic terrorist organization based out of Pakistan.

The Western Press is so much in the Muslim tank that the article I read barely mentions the Jews who were tortured slaughtered. There is no mention whatsoever of the torture the Jews received at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai. In fact the AP article as of 12:35 PM ET only has “Islam” as a form of a word once and not at all in the title.

Religious Pakistani Incited Mumbai Islamic Attack

Act for America sent this to my inbox since I am gratefully on their email list. The heads up is about the Islamic terrorists that murdered and some cases tortured non-Muslims in Mumbai were sent from Pakistan. India has requested Pakistan give up the Islamic leadership. So far there has been no compliance from Pakistan.

Hmm … Pakistan an American ally against Islamic terrorism and the Global War on Terror? Probably not.

First is the Act for America introduction to The Australian article followed by the article.

Islamic Terrorists Torture Jews in Mumbai

The Religion of peace’s latest attack on non-Muslims in Mumbai, India was horrific. What may not have been known is that of the nearly 200 murdered by Islamic terrorists is that there were a number of Jews.

Courtesy of Islamic Supremacism and hate the Jews were not only killed but blatantly tortured then executed.

The great tragedy includes the fact that these Islamic extremists were following the dictates of their holy writings as opposed to the claim by Muslim/Mohammedan apologists these violent actions are outside the theology of Islam/Mohammedanism.

I find it more and more unbelievable that the West’s PC culture continues to look the other way when the inherently violent Theo-political cult erupts into death and destruction.

Hindus Commit Genocide on India’s Christians

If you have read any of my blogs you are aware that I harp on the violence that I believe is inherent in Mohammedan holy writings.

Now I preface this post with those thoughts on Mohammedanism because I just read about an extremely disturbing incident in the nation of India. You might think this incident would involve Mohammedans and Hindus which are natural enemies mostly because the brutalizing conquering aspect of Islam reaped extreme violence on Hindu Indians in India’s medieval days.

This disturbing incident has zero to do with Mohammedans.

This disturbing incident has to do with Hindus operating a pogrom in the Orissa region of India. That pogrom on August 29, 2008 resulted in the approximated deaths of 50,000 Christians. Many of these Christians tortured and raped and brutalized. Christian converts from Hinduism were often given a choice to renounce their Christian faith or die a brutal tortuous death.

I read of young Nuns being burnt alive and stripped naked and gang raped.

As I was reading this from an American Christian news outlet my thoughts immediately went to the Mainstream Media (MSM).

Why was this reprehensible genocide NOT part of a global exposé on the treatment of Christians in a genocidal moment in India? I am aware America is going through a very polarizing Presidential election and hurricanes are swooping through the nations affecting the lives of Americans. BUT my God: 50,000 individuals who were professing Christians were slaughtered by Hindus!

The thing that irks me the most about this is that I always thought of Hinduism (as opposed to Mohammedanism) to be a religion of non-violence. I mean these are the guys that let sacred white cows walk around unharmed in the midst of poverty and starvation.

I found this on a Hindu website (I cannot account for how respectable the site is. I was in a hurry).

Hinduism does not advise peace in the face of evil and injustice. The Bhagavadgita, which is like a Bible to Hindus, is a message to Arjuna when he hesitates to wage war against his own kith and kin. Sri Krishna advises him that Arjuna should wage war because it was part of his duty or karma and he should not think of withdrawing from his responsibility out of fear or cowardice.

Hindus believe that Sri Vasudeva Krishna is an incarnation of God. He himself actively participated in many wars against evil forces and served as charioteer for Arjuna. The Aryan gods of Vedic times were all warriors. Hindus also believe that if a person dies while waging a war in defense of his country, he would attain the heaven of the warriors (viraswargam) …

It was actually the Buddha who introduced the concept of peace and non-violence in a big way in the subcontinent and influenced all streams of thought. …

…

Hinduism believes that God Himself reincarnates on earth whenever there is an ascendance of evil on the earth to protect the weak, destroy the evil and restore order. Hence according to Hinduism war is justified when it is meant to protect oneself and the world from evil and injustice. However Hinduism neither supports acts of aggression nor advocates violence to terrorize people into submission. (Hinduism and War)

From this I have determined that Hinduism is not as von-violent as I thought; however to be fair and balanced Christians have also developed a “Just War” concept.

… Hinduism does not support violence, especially when it is perpetuated for selfish or egoistic reasons.

However at the same time, the Bhagavad gita [sic] does not condone helplessness and weakness in the face of injustice and wickedness. According to the scripture it is the duty of every individual to protect himself from the wicked acts of evil forces. (Hinduism and Violence)

This Hindu inflicted genocide perpetrated on Indian Christians appears to be the results of right wing Hindus who probably justify the butchery on Christians because they are consider an “evil force.” I also understand that a cycle of violence has been occurring when Christians in an effort to protect themselves may have stepped outside the box of Christian Scriptures to employ retribution in a terrorist manner.

On the other hand it is also evident that the Christian hating Hindus have blamed Christians for acts of terrorism that were brought Maoist (i.e. Chinese-like Communism) terrorists against Hindus. Somewhat like the Roman Emperor Nero blamed Christians unjustly for the burning of Rome. The everyday Hindu believes their leaders.

But to bring such death and destruction on a group of people out of retribution for real or imagined acts is unconscionable. The Global democracies should set aside their secularism at least for an outcry for the so-called compassion of secular humanist egalitarianism to denounce this genocide and call for India to bring the criminals to justice.

India/America Nuclear Deal Still Appears on Track

India and America had signed a deal to share nuclear technology. I viewed this as a fantastic possibility for India and America to begin to connect as military partners.

With China beginning to pour the dividends of its exploding economy into a growing technologically better military, developing close contact with India is an imperative to American National Interests of the future.

Also India has been traditionally big on anti-Islamic terrorism. That places India as a natural for military cooperation in the present.

The “NOW” problem is that India also has been traditionally stand-offish with America. One reason has been India’s close cooperation with the former communist Soviet Union and America’s tendency to support India’s greatest mortal enemy in Pakistan.

The international problem is that India (as also Pakistan) independently developed a nuclear weapon program against the will of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). Add to that India is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

To further complicate this nuclear sharing pact between America and India is that Iran is a non-approved nuclear nation which everyone knows (even with Iranian denial) is developing WMD for belligerent acts in the Middle Eastern region, America and Israel.

Iran is whining how can India receive international validation and Iran receives international condemnation.

Here is the reason idiotic Iran: India is the largest nation in the world with stable democratic institutions and infrastructure while Iran is the largest exporter of Islamofascist terrorist activity coupled with blatant continuous threatening against Israel and America.

With all these mitigations working against the final approval of an India/America nuclear sharing deal it still seems to be remarkably moving forward.

To date the IAEA, Indian Parliament and American Congress, appear to be tentatively on the approval track.

There are still obstacles all the way around. It is a gamble but I hope those obstacles are overcome.

Klinghoffer on U.S./Indian Nuclear Deal

Judith Klinghoffer has a perspective on the U.S./India nuclear deal from the angle of Asian history and the future speculation of what follows Asian history. My interpretation of Klinghoffer’s essay (really a kind of book review) is that geopolitically Asia may become the center of global civilization in the future; ergo the importance to American National Interests of the completion of U.S./India nuclear deal.

JRH 7/29/08 (Hat tip Jewish World Review)

India and USA: Nuclear Pact?

It is a shame there is a hold up on what would be the beginning of a beautiful geopolitical relationship. Some time ago India and America under the negotiations of the Singh government and the Bush Administration worked out the details for sharing nuclear technology.

I don’t care what anyone says moving to a close relationship with India will be a huge geopolitical coup for both America and India.

Part of the problem is the past history between India and America.

For decades India was in the old Communist Soviet camp as buddies with weapons and technology. This was the case despite of the fact India is a Parliamentarian democracy and the Soviets were a despotic communist dictatorship bent on spreading the delusion of Marxist/Leninism.

Part of this association with the old USSR was because India’s mortal enemy Pakistan had become a buddy with America during the days America was funding the Afghan Islamist revolt in then Communist Afghanistan. (This is another classic evidence of betrayal to America after help to be delivered from Communism.) Also India and Communist China were rattling sabers over border issues as was the old USSR and China on that border. Also India had gone the nuclear route in its quest for defense against the hated enemy Pakistan and the nominal enemy China.

Thus clearly it was in the National Interest of India to be in the deceased Soviet orbit.

The times, they are a changing.

Communist super power the USSR is no more. The old Soviets have chosen a republican form of government and lost much of their Soviet Union satellites. Russia is still a viable power but it is a mere shell of its past global designs for world hegemony.

Pakistan and America are still hooked up however that partnership is becoming more and more tenuous every day as Islamism appears to be the most influential dynamic among Pakistanis and some ruling elites in the government (Constant peace accords with the Taliban and refusing to let American troops into Pakistan to track down the Taliban and al Qaeda is evidence of that).

India and China (ironically both dominated by socialistic or communistic thinking) are becoming global competitors capitalistically for global markets and thus are still not the best of friends. China is a particular nuisance for India because the Chinese government is using their no found market wealth to modernize their military and make a go for Asian hegemony as the new Russia is also trying to build a regional hegemonic sphere.

India’s special relationship to the Russians is becoming less reliable as is Pakistan’s relationship to America.

India before and since independence from the U.K. in 1948 has been at odds with the Indian Muslim population; which is why a Pakistan (E. Pakistan later became independent Bangladesh) was carved out of the Indian sub-continent. India as Israel has known Islamist terrorism against their Hindi population as Israel has against their Jewish population.

The times we live in would make India and America natural allies. What is the hold-up?

Singh’s Parliamentarian government and America’s Senate have problems with each other. The former mistrusts America in being involved in their WMD program and the latter are upset that India is not part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty and does not want to share peaceful nuclear technology that might be an enhancement to India’s WMD program. For America and India to be internationally compliant, there are a few international regulatory agencies that also must sign off on the America/India nuke pact (such as the IAEA and the Nuclear Suppliers Group).

Can Bush and Singh manage to push the pact through before their nation’s mutual upcoming elections? It would be in America’s interest for that to happen.

What about India in a Global Hostility?

Here is an enigmatic essay about India and China. The byline implies that the long standing foes and competitors in Asia are embarking on some kind of rapprochement. However as you read through the analysis it appears to be paragraph after paragraph of what ifs.

The conclusion that the commonality between India and China is commerce however distrust between the emerging Asian giants is far from being resolved. The enigma is will China continue to get involved with nations in India’s sphere of influence and sphere of turbulence or will India overlook that continuing Chinese excursions and seek to strengthen each other by cooperation in boosting each others economies.

How does the enigma affect American National Interests? Bush not too long ago reached out to India to forge bilateral cooperation in the nuclear realm probably to coax a partner with India’s hated enemies of Mohammedan nations. It is like Bush is trying to find a back-up if the Musharraf regime collapses to radical Islam. A radicalized Pakistan which is already the natural enemy of India would increase the hostility between the two nations.

But check it out: China is a friend of Islamist rogue nations. If Pakistan collapses my bet is China will prop up an Islamist revolutionary Pakistan government to cause more headaches for America.

There is a lot of backroom international politicking going here and India might be the key to offset China and an ally against Islamist rogue nations. So watch the moves of India, its choices could give a bonus to China or to America depending on what back door diplomacy is being ironed out.

One other point about India: India and America have not been in each other’s friendly orbit. Even though India is a democracy, it leaned heavily on military expertise from the former Communist Soviet Union. That relationship did not amuse America in Cold War days.

Yes I do believe India is the enigmatic key in global politics. The question is which nation India will decide to ultimately align with.

Possible Outcomes of Pakistani Crisis Might ...

Possible Outcomes of Pakistani Crisis Might Even Change a Democrat's Mind

Pervez Musharraf has imposed martial law in Pakistan. The official reason is because radical murdering Islamist terrorists are trying to bring their Theo-Political ideology as the rule of law and depose Musharraf.

I am certain there is an element of truth to the official reason; however I am betting the actual reason is elements outside of the military within the regime are trying to depose Musharraf, specifically Pakistan’s version of the Supreme Court.

Pakistan’s Supreme Court was about to rule on the legality of Musharraf’s election as President while retaining his spot as the head of the Pakistani military. The talk was the Court ruling was not going to happen to Musharraf’s benefit.

Although I am certain Musharraf would have used the military to brush off such a judicial ruling it would have angered the people in such a way that rioting might lead to sympathy to the radical Islamists followed by a Khomeini style people’s revolution.

Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and eight other judges refused to support Musharraf’s “emergency order.” Musharraf’s response was to depose the Chief Justice and rename another to replace him – Abdul Hameed Dogar.

Then there is the position of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto who returned to Pakistan recently under a deal with Musharraf to bring back democracy to Pakistan while siding with her families old military enemies to draw the people away from radical Islamism. Bhutto is a secular Socialist Muslim.

Bhutto officially complained about the Martial Law order; however I sense she understands her future in Pakistan will only occur with the military’s support combined with a hoped for elective support from the Pakistani people. Bhutto would be executed summarily if the likes of al Qaeda or the Taliban got their hands on her.

What was America’s official reaction? This from BBC News:

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the declaration of emergency rule was "highly regrettable" and called upon Pakistan to have free and fair elections.

In essence the US response was the politically correct response; a deposed Musharraf would be a huge hit on America’s war effort in the Middle East. It would be tough for America to lose an ally in Pakistan which could happen if Musharraf was deposed. There is the possibility that the Pakistan military might simply replace Musharraf with another top dog general and continue the policy of Musharraf under a different military political Administration.

Again though, a deposed Musharraf would pour prestige and allegiance of the Pakistani people to the radical Islamists. This could lead to a similar scenario of a Khomeini style revolution in Pakistan that the military could not stop without outright butchery and genocide.

What is the worst that could happen? O not much, a nuclear armed Wahhabi-Sunni-Taliban-al-Qaeda Islamist nation that hates America. The only plus would be incredible Sunni power probably would end the friendship with Shi’ite Iran who has no doubt been aiding the Waziristan Sunni radicals. I also suspect the old socialists in India will change their minds in rejecting America’s proffered hand of friendship and join in with American against radical Islamists in Pakistan and Iran.

Muslim Pakistan and Hindi India are nearly blood enemies and I suspect India could not stand for Mohammedan nuclear proliferation in the Middle East than America or Europe (although for different reasons).

Thus what Musharraf has done may be reported with media calm of just another dictatorial move in Pakistan; however I suspect the American military and policy strategists are scrambling to develop multiple alternative measures to choose from depending on which way the Pakistani crisis swings.

US/India Partnership in Trouble

It would have been awesome to have India (the largest Western style democracy globally) in America’s camp. America even went out on a limb to strike a nuclear technology deal with India subject to approval of Congress and India’s Parliament.

There were critics on the Left in America of sharing nuclear technology with India in light of our denunciation of North Korea and Iran going nuclear. There were traditional slanted right critics (paleocons) who felt such a deal would alienate the much needed support of nuclear armed Mohammedan Pakistan on the War on Terror.

President Bush had managed to swing Congressional approval of the nuclear deal with India. Unfortunately the irony of ironies is occurring in the Indian Parliament. The Left block (Marxist/Communist associated Parties) which make up part of the ruling Parliamentary coalition of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh are working to strike down the deal. That is an irony because the Left in America tentatively seems to have signed on to the deal. The reason: traditional Marxist aversion to a Capitalist America as a global hegemon and the Marxist Indian’s fear of America manipulating India’s foreign policy.

Prime Minister Singh has been lobbying hard with the Indian Parliament however it appears headed to defeat.

I suspect the Marxists in India’s Parliament wish to continue an affinity with former Communist Russia (though apparently becoming hostile toward America) and Communist China.

This is an indication to me that has its own version of polarizing politics: The old politicians of India wish to stay connected to past associations with Russia and it’s off and on again relationship with China. A new guard of Indian politicians needs to assert themselves because on paper it would seem an America/India partnership would benefit both nations in National Security and the economics of prosperity as a counter weight to Chinese ambitions to be a global military and economic hegemon at India’s expense.

I believe the ruling Indian elites are missing the big picture for the future growth and security, especially since Islamofascism is attacking India nearly as much as America. The American Media fails to report the significance of radical Islamists committing acts of terrorism against the Hindi majority of India’s population.

Let us hope President Bush and Prime Minister Singh can pull out a twelfth hour turn around for both nations’ sake.

A New Candidate for the Axis of Evil

The Axis of evil was at one time: Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Iraq was bumped from that list.

I guess the next Axis of Evil would be Syria, Iran and North Korea. All three are rogue nations destabilizing peace in their regions.

Now I am reading in the Scotsman.com that Burma is preparing to join the Axis of evil club. Burma is already a rogue nation with a horrible human rights record. The nation is ruled by a military junta Dictatorship.

Apparently Burma is rich in natural resources and is prepared to profit on those resources. Who is paying for the natural resources? China, Russia and India.

Russia is aiding Burma in preparation of nuclear plants. Does that sound familiar?

China is buying oil and setting up naval bases on Burmese islands. This is part of the Chinese military strategy known as the “String of Pearls.” This is a reference to China’s growing military that is ever increasing Asian hegemonic power.

India is not happy with China’s emerging military via a nuclear navy in the Bay of Bengal.

India is competing for oil and gas exports from Burma by selling military arms. India is loosing that wooing game because Burma is allowing China into the Bay of Bengal and Russia is fulfilling a nuclear aspiration. This means India has a nuclear competitor in Pakistan and China and potentially Burma and Iran. India is being surrounded. India has been in Russia’s orbit for years. I am thinking this nuclear power encircling of India may force India to become a full partner of America.

The Scotsman.com reports one other tidbit about Burma wanting into the Axis of Evil club. Burma has normalized relations with North Korea: The bad boy that relies on China and threatens South Korea, Japan and America.

India: Future Giant?

India is that enigmatic nation with growing economic muscle. The thing that usually follows economic muscle is a strong military. That is what makes India enigmatic. India’s greatest Asian competitor is close to Super Power status in more than name. That competitor is China.

China has seemed to find that successful formula that has modified its Communism to incorporate Capitalistic principles to make the Red Dragon’s economy explode. The economic explosion has enabled huge strides in militaristic upgrades.

India’s economy is exploding as well. India has chosen a Democratic form of government that leans on Capitalism but has an element of socialism. The enigma is this: I don’t hear anyone talking about India’s emerging military upgrade. Is there an Indian military upgrade?

To keep up with the Jones (China), India must develop a viable military. If India fails in this development no matter how strong the Indian economy is, China will be able to flex its regional hegemonic muscles.

Here is another enigma. Recently India and America made what appeared to be great strides in getting over political differences. India – oddly enough – was a close friend of the old Soviet Union. Here is the thing. Shortly after India made nuclear deals with America it snuggled back to its old friend Russia. It is as if India does not know which path to follow to strengthen its National Interests.

Now India is pumping its muscles up with an old idea with greater ferocity: Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

SEZ is a concept in which the government utilizes what in America might be called immanent domain. The SEZ plan takes huge swathes of land with or without compensation and definitely without appeal to develop for foreign investment to create greater tax revenue and create jobs. The problem is these huge swathes of land are ripping the livelihood from Indian farmers and protests have begun in the growing economic giant.

The enigma continues: Entice foreign investment for revenue and jobs, respect land ownership, mixed socialism and capitalism and who to plug into in alliance as a working model?

India: Who is in Whose Camp?

When the Bush Administration approached India about strengthening ties, I presumed it was a good thing. When the talks turned to the topic of nuclear power exchange I thought, “Wow!”

The “Wow” was because India has had a history of enmity with Mohammedan nations (Pakistan in particular) and China. At the time I believed a potential America/India alliance could hold the future in a positive light as the inevitable clash between West and political Mohammedanism crashed into explosive conflict.

I was so confident of a future ally that I overlooked the old friendship between India and the former Soviet Union.

Last week Russia, China and India held a Summit discussing geopolitics in New Delhi on how the three could enhance their presumed National Interests. Officially the Summit was a cumbaya get together to talk about how the three could influence world peace (blah, blah). However the topics included North Korea and the use of multilateral diplomacy to handle global crises (such as Iran).

This troika of friendship cannot be good for the good ole’ USA. If this troika embarked on economic and military cooperation it would definitely challenge American global influence and National Interests.

I still cannot get past the primary military purveyors to rogue nations and consequently Islamofascist terrorists and an India hook-up. As I have written these words India still is a huge target of Islamofascist terrorism. My guess is since the end of WWII India is second only to Israel in the frequency radical Mohammedans murdering innocent non-Mohammedans.

It was Mohammedan Imperialism in India’s history that slaughtered Hindus in India and basically eradicating Buddhism in the land of its birth. Forced conversions occurred in India during the Mohammedan Imperialism. Hindus also faced extermination and torture for being polytheists; however the Hindus managed to survive extermination in India.

With all this in mind what boggles me is India getting into the bed of the suppliers of its loathsome enemies.

Can We Count on an Alignment with India?

There has been a lot of talk the last couple of weeks in the Western minded world concerning China since the January 11 (or so) test military action in space orbit around Earth. China’s secretive nature brings to the table once again who is aligned with whom in the geo-politics of planet Earth.

Capitalism marketers have drooled of the potential wealth that can be accrued in China. And of course the Chinese Communist Party would benefit from the taxes of placed on foreign marketers.

On the other hand China seems to be firmly in the Russia and Iran camp because of oil and weapons exchange markets. None of that bodes well for America that has to be concerned by the amount of the American national debt that China owns.

One Bush Administration solution seems to have been to cozy up to the Chinese traditional Southeast Asian enemy – India.

India is the world’s largest democracy. India’s infrastructure is laid with Western foundation due to former British Raj. The Bush Administration has logically concluded America and India have much in common: e.g. democracy, capitalism, a common Mohammedan enemy and so forth.

America has agreed to enhance India’s nuclear technology as part of the hand of friendship.

But wait! India and America have not seen things in common until very, very recently. India received arms from the former Soviet Union and is currently in an agreement with Russia to work together to build a next generation war aircraft.

Here is Barbara Crossette’s “Think Again: India” from Foreign Policy.

THE NEW EMERGING GLOBAL AXIS TRIO

The West seems to have set the stage about how global conflicts find a foundation. The primary element for a foundation to global conflict is to construct an alliance of reliable nations. These reliable nations may have many differing cultural formations yet the glue that commits the alliance is a co-mutual National Interest.

If one connects the dots, an emerging such alliance is Russia, China and Iran. All three of these nations have very divergent cultures that have materialized to this present date in time. At first glance the appearance is that these three nations would be enemies rather than friends. There even has been recent history that all three of these nations have had recent conflict with one another.

There is one global element that unites the trio into a commonality. It is the United States of America. Russia, China and Iran want to be at the very least a regional hegemon in their traditional spheres of influence. The USA’s global hegemonic reach is a stumbling block for each of the trio’s regional National Interest.

Russia since Czarist days has sought an expansionism that produces a comfort zone from invasion. China has been East Asia’s anchor of power on a continuous basis maybe longer than any other group of people (with one sort of dynasty or another to the present day Communist regime). The trio has gravitated to each other because of mutual interests. Iran has oil and China needs oil and Russia ironically needs refined oil. I say “ironically” about Russia because they have loads of there own oil but apparently have difficulty in accessing it.

Russian and China both have technology and military know how. Iran wishes to access that know how.

Thus mutual National Interests and mutual needs may (if not already) cement a new Axis to confront American National Interests.

The variable to the new Axis are a couple of other Asian big dogs: economic giant Japan and emerging economic giant (and nuclear power) India. India and Japan are extreme rivals to China. The world’s largest democracy – India – has been in the old Soviet Communist orbit in the past; however India has made significant strides to ally with America. Japan ironically has been America’s best friend in Asia since the end of WWII. Japan has never been on friendly terms with Czarist Russia or Communist USSR.

A couple of minor variables in East Asia and the Pacific that would gravitate toward America are Australia, Philippines, South Korea and the controversial Taiwan.

Notice I have excluded Europe. I suspect Western Europe would only join America if they sensed an extreme threat from the Axis Trio. Although much of Eastern Europe would wish to be pro-American, they are too close to Russian hegemonic desires to be an effective aid in any thing except maybe a guerrilla war. Much of Canada is in the European frame of mind politically; however I suspect Canadian political polarization would emerge on the side of America in a pinch. However I think Canada might be extremely hesitant to commit to its old friend America without some kind of tragedy on their soil such as the Mohammedan conspiracy that was broken up a short time ago. That conspiracy was aimed at the Canadian Parliament and Prime Minister.

So here I present the global stage for what I believe the inevitable future. Russia, China and Iran will undoubtedly have their minor variables to add to their interests. There is psycho North Korea. There is the Shi’ites of Iraq. I suspect al Qaeda will join Shi’ite Iran even though al Qaeda are Wahhabi Sunni psycho Mohammedans. There is Syria. There is Hezbollah of Lebanon. I suspect al Qaeda and Hamas terrorism will influence other Mohammedan nations to join the Trio Axis. It is at this moment in which Western Europe will decide if the Axis or American hegemony will best support their regional interests. That decision will be based on oil. Will the EU fight with America to gain oil from a capitalistic market or will the EU join the Axis with guarantees of oil?

In the midst of this global conflict, I suspect a holocaust of Jews in Israel will occur. The little sliver of land known as Israel may be out of reach of American protection if the conflict goes global. This is much like the Philippines was out of reach of American protection at the outset of WWII with Japan. Hopefully there will be a 21st century MacArthur that will “return” to liberate Israel before too many Jews are massacred. (Theologically speaking that MacArthur might be Jesus Christ himself.)

Again global conflict is inevitable. Ideology and regional self-interest are simply to compelling for diplomatic patience to be effective. Russia, China and Iran are already having tentacles into each other; it would be difficult to do the Siamese surgery to untangle the triplets.

U.S. Asian Alliance Aimed at China

Read this from Dan Blumenthal of AEI:

The United States and Japan are converging in their approaches to China. Multidimensional engagement will not end, but the two have joined to balance China’s military weight. This common China policy, however, may be insufficient. Should Beijing become more aggressive, America and Japan will need to become a strong counterweight to China. Should the Chinese government’s legitimacy begin to weaken, America and Japan need to be prepared for other security threats. To avoid either of these troubling outcomes, American and Japanese policies on China should focus more intently on the greatest strategic prize: a democratic China.

Fortunately, Washington and Tokyo have articulated a regional vision in the Bush-Koizumi joint statement that has the best hope of pushing China in the right direction. The statement says the two countries will promote individual freedoms; increase transparency and confidence in political, economic, and military fields; and protect human rights.[10]

A more ambitious vision--that of Shinzo Abe--would commit Tokyo, Washington, Canberra, and Delhi to building a political and security institution whose membership criteria are based on those values. Beijing would complain that such an arrangement is a containment vehicle, but it certainly need not be so--China might reform itself to meet the criteria. Reform-minded Chinese could equate democratization with patriotism, as membership in such an institution would confer countless benefits upon China. Moreover, there are many different forums in Asia through which countries can currently engage China. If, however, China proceeds down the troubling path of conflict, Japan, the United States, and other regional democracies will be better able to respond through a democratic security community. (Dan Blumenthal)

When political theorists begin to write like this you know there is talk among policy shakers and makers in government.

When President Bush signs the legislation to freely trade in nuclear reactors and technology with India, it will be the beginning of building an Asian and Pacific containment group aimed at China.

The next move will be the re-arming of Japan.

See also: America is betting on a New Ally in India.

America is betting on a New Ally in India

An outgoing Republican majority in Congress has sent a Bill to President Bush relating to India and Nuclear trade. The legislation permits the sale of “… American-made nuclear reactors and fuel to India …”

This is legislation fully supported by the White House and evidently includes some Democrats. The Bill was passed 330 to 59 in the House and unanimously in the Senate.

The official reason for support of this legislation (even from some American allies) is that it will enhance electrical production in India and bring strengthening ties economically between the West and the World’s largest democracy.

Critics believe it is American hypocrisy vis-à-vis America’s stand on Iran’s acquiring nuclear capability. Iran claims its nuclear ambitions are just as civilian minded as India’s.

Now that I have written all that, this why I think the Bush Administration is courting India with enhanced nuclear power. Those that are critical are correct; India will also enhance their nuclear arsenal. I believe the Bush Administration has evaluated a stronger India is needed in the region.

Russia is sending nuclear technology to Iran. China has no intention to interfere with Iran’s nuclear ambitions (whatever reasons). Pakistan is already nuclear with the concern that Musharraf might lose his job to Islamofascist interests within Pakistan’s ideologists.

If India and America can develop an alliance that exists (or maybe existed) between Britain and America that will go a long toward American/Indian leverage mutual National Interests in the Middle East. The majority Hindus of India have no love for Mohammedans and radical Mohammedanism in particular.

We are seeing geopolitical alignment in action.
