You are absolutely correct in terms of why are we ignoring India and the rest. Very good question. Policy is formulated in very distinct sequential goal driven efforts. The major think tanks produce policy reports designed to address issues in both the short and long terms. Then the political parties and their leaders consult their advisors on every level of government as to how to proceed in the foriegn arena. Take the Iraq war. That whole strategy was first explored during Henry Kissengers years as Secretary Of State. It turns on how the oil reserves left in the world will be financed and allocated. Lets be honest; oil runs policy because without it we don't have a country. So the real questionb as I see it is how to divide the remaining resources between the world community. Bush follows the neo-con agenda which is to create an American controlled regime in the rest of the major oil producing nations left open to us. Since Russia has 20% of the oil and Venezuela has 13% of the oil then we must direct our policy to those countries that we can effect change in. My Point? Policy is directed far in advance of circumstances and it is difficult and demanding to study and follow the initiatives and effects on world events. To say that there is a way to govern that doesn't result in someone getting more than their share of things I don't see how that could be accomplished. I mean; look at the pay of politicians? They are certainly not in it for the money; right?
