What's next from you Dr. Brin - that Bill Clinton wrote the Declaration of
Independence?
When the Bush Administration came into office, their central animating
theme of foreign policy was that the US needs to prepare for a world in
which it is no longer the lone superpower, but in which China was a
competing superpower. As such, one of the few foreign policy shifts they
executed was to *greatly* emphasize US-Indian relations with the long-term
goal of cementing a natural US-Indian alliance in case it ever should be
needed to contain China. This was in direct contrast to Clinton's policy
to consider China a "strategic partner" and to not particularly emphasize
relations with India.

Would you like to place a wager on which nation will be a closer US ally in
20 years, Iraq or Vietnam?
