Conservatives of the world unite, so seems to be the battle-cry of the moment. And, you can see examples of it in the fairly intense BJP admiration of Israeli state-sanctioned terror tactics and some of George Bush's politics (which also gains admiration from the IMF/World Bank-influenced Manmohan Singh).
