There is a complete lack of ambition.

In all the cacophony regarding the arrest of an Indian consul in New York we have been deprived of the facts of the case. Apparently the maid making the accusations is being supported by an NGO. NGOs need to raise money for the lavish lifestyles enjoyed by their directors so it is in their interest to create an emergency where none exists. It is for this reason Russia has cracked down on foreign funded NGOs. US officials are trying to occupy the moral high ground by claiming that the maid was not being paid the minimum wage. That is easily countered. Firstly, she was living with the family, so rent and food should be calculated as part of her wages. Secondly, Alabama does not have any minimum wage. In Montana it is $4 and in Oklahoma it is a paltry $2 for businesses with annual turnover of less than $100,000. There was a high court order in India on the maid and her entire family was flown out surreptitiously by some US citizens which shows that there was a premeditated conspiracy. These people can be easily identified from CCTV pictures at Delhi airport and should be arrested on a charge of kidnapping and activities hostile to India. A few days in Tihar will focus American minds wonderfully. As for that slimy quisling, Preet Bharara, he obviously fancies himself as some sort of a star and has visions of running for office someday. We should honor his wishes and treat him as a star. The government should pay paparazzo in New York to follow him night and day for as long as it takes. It would be fully legal and cost a few million dollars. If he has ambitions for higher office he will need to raise money and sooner or later he will slip up. Ask Eliot Spitzer, the terror of Wall Street. The Pakistanis regularly help the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan and then ask for more money and arms. But do this lot have the guts. No. Already government stooges are writing articles advising the importance of good relations with the US and there are reports tying the consul with the Adarsh scam in an effort to discredit her. The reason is that there are 73 ministers who like travelling abroad, especially to the US. They have little or no ambition of making India rich and strong so that they are respected abroad. Instead they are happy to steal money, try to show their superiority by treating us with contempt while wagging their tails when confronting a white fellow. How sad for us?
