American Nightmare

My desis are letting me down:

People who know Mr. Bush say he has an interest in [India] through little-known personal and political connections in Texas. While he was governor, Mr. Bush befriended a number of prosperous Indian doctors and businessmen, all Republicans, who captivated him as embodiments of the American dream and contributed handsomely to his campaigns.
Well, what can you expect from Texans? The Hindu ones probably all eat big steaks every night, too.

Attention non (naan?)- Injuns: We are not all like this. I, like many second-generation Indians, much prefer Fellow Tribal Members like Prime Minister Singh's daughter, who is at the ACLU, battling Bush on torture and detainees.

check out Arundhati Roy's article in the Bush /India love in!

while I agree with some of what she says, she seems to be out of step with the majority of Indians (in India) who hold Bush in high esteem(according to a BBC poll).
