Re: India-US Relations : News and Discussion- II
CR, You are right on India needing help. No way she can go it alone. For two reasons, IMHO. First and foremost is rampant corruption (why Indians don't do more, as a society, I have no clue). If not brought under control it will devour this society, like many in Africa. Second is population. Double...

1. The Rafale cost to India seems similar to that we found when we bought the Mirages originally. 2. 20 years after the Mirage acquisition, we still found them good for Kargil and we have found them to be so good .that we are spending a very large sum of money for their upgrade.
