Should India form an alliance with United States?

[alyceclover]

Never know for sure what the people in power are up to. I don't think the US would have plans to attack China. If there were to be another global war there would naurally be sides taken. But I think even the most obtuse leader realizes another Global war would lead to the desturction of Earth and hey guess what no more fighting! We'd all be gone.

What do you want in life? I want to live, love, laugh and be happy. I want an earth for my grandchildren's children to grow up upon. I think a lot of people in other country's want the same thing. So, naive, why can't we get along?

A lot of US citizens are concerned with economic conditions in India. See ads all the time "help the starving children" and people donate their money. Don't actually know what conditions are like, except when talking to a native of the country. Don't know if the funds actually help the children.

Gandhi (who inadvertenly started a civil war) said "whatever you do may seem insignificant, but important that you do it" and "BE the change you want to see in the world". A bumper sticker read "If the people lead, the leader's will follow". Don't know if that will work. But worth a try.

So my answer is 'don't know'.

PEACE!

I dont think that there is any harm in alliance. Its not like Usa always demands the way they want, It even the alliance party that put ahead their demands and views, its always mutual and not one sided
