Yet more western hyprocrisy
MV Kamath has written a strong article on how the western world not just turned a blind eye, but also contributed to Pak's nuclear program. No wonder America was eager to accept Musharraf's pardon of AQKhan! Shows the kind of stooge organisations the IAEA, UN, Security Council, etc are.
Another glaring case of westerm arm-twisting of third-world countries is the case of World Bank and IMF. As this rediff article points out, presidency of the World Bank alwayz goes to an American, while the post of IMF managing director alwayz goes to an European! Itz time the thrid world countries assert their right over these institutions.
Another American demand now is to "open" the Indian market, as a counter-measure to allow free outsourcing to India. America is more interested in India opening up itz agricultural mkt. I wonder why the Indian govt does not bring out statistics to show the amount of subsidy the US govt provides for itz farmers. US govt doled out - hold ur breath - $10 bn in agricultiral subsidies in yesr 2000. And, as this YellowTimes article pointed out, this share will grow in the coming decade, courtesy Bush's Farm Bill.
