It depends on who got their bribe, and who's still impartial.

Remember, Kaangress is fighting for its life, here.

I don't understand this impulse for race-to-the-bottom rationalizations. "Alright, so I beat my wife last night. But my neighbor beats his at least twice a week" Indians are very good at rationalizing their vices. Anything to avoid feeling guilty, or feeling bad, or feeling a need to impro...

India-Vietnam relations would have to be supplemented with India-Cambodia relations, since China has previously been able to use Cambodia as a base for conflict with Vietnam.
Look how many Khmer Rouge officials are still in power in Cambodia.

I'm disgusted to hear all the mental acrobats here spewing out more defense of the corrupt kleptocracy they support. Spraying perfume on manure doesn't change what it is. When I see people on this forum scoffing at the sh*t-filled sinks and bathrooms, dismissing these as a "2-minute clean-up jo...

ss_roy, you're praising a bunch of Kaangress Kleptocrats misusing their power to suppress legitimate criticism of their corruption and ineptitude, while endangering ties with useful trading partners? It isn't the critics of corruption who are running down the country, it is those who practice the co...

Even if the CommonWealth Games were originally not going to be a big media event - I know I certainly am not enough of a sports fan to watch them - the terrible scandal that has now erupted has then made this a big media event, for all the wrong reasons. On the bright side, Pak will most likely no l...

By defending this mess, you are defending corruption in India. This mess should not be defended but condemned, just like any corruption. Kaangress doesn't want its corruption to be highlighted, condemned, or eliminated, and will resort to any crooked means to escape justice. In order for Indians to ...

No, people here need to understand the need for constructive criticism, rather than us all living in a Fool's Paradise.

Confidence that is not based on reality is blindness. Success is based on doing, and not on bragging. It seems that Indians are seeking bragging opportunities, rather than success.

Hah - India is forever a nation of tomorrow, instead of today. 'We will be this' and 'we will be that' - the clarion call of procrastination.

Nah, look at how McCain ran at the age of 72. Ron Paul is only a few years older.
Reagan retired at 77, and Ron Paul today is much more articulate than Reagan ever was.

The purpose/advantage of hosting such games is that the paying international visitors help to subsidize the infrastructure created for the games. Tourism is an industry which is known to do this.
