The cunning diplomacy followed by the US has enabled them to trouble Russia and burden it with the Chechen issue. To be honest, and of course straight, we needed Russia to stay as a superpower to balance the strength of the world order, or at least any other big nation. Since Great Britain is at the US corner, Germany and France altogether pose no opposition or resistance to the wishes of the US. Even by mistake some people feel that the Cold War era was better than this present world state! Is it so? Maybe. We have got thousands of questions but none could answer them. Recently, the US found a new friend in India, of course to our utter dismay.

Since our birth we have experienced India as being unfriendly to us. We do not remember India giving us an inch of favour. And the just concluded visit of Dr. Rice and her words against Bangladesh, what she said on being asked a question by an Indian journalist, are a matter of concern.
