Selma,
One must realise that the most important qualification one requires to lead
a State or a Nation is to have b***s. Both, men and women qualify. Example
of women with real b's were Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meyer,
Benazir Bhutto to name a few.
My superstar man with b's was Lal Bahadur Shastri, a real bahaddur indeed,
and Ronald Reagan.

Subject: [Goanet] Manmohan lets Indians down
For years I have been a fan of this intelligent, quiet, unassuming man.
But while it is one thing to hold the finance portfolio of a country, it
is quite another to head a pluralistic country of 1.2 billion people.
Not for one moment can I imagine a member of the Nehru family, sitting in
their offices writing memos and contemplating on deplorable situations.
No, they would be in the thick of it, walking the streets, talking to
people and risking the bullet if need be. Nehru himself would have jumped
into the fray, asking to be killed first. Unfortunately Manmohan proved to
be an administrator rather than a man of action.
The country is rendered spineless in the absence of leadership. Why can't
we ban extremist groups in India? What stops us from doing the logical
thing, the right thing? What else, besides the same lack of will that has
made every policy to curb our population, ineffectual. And now that we are
a "Democratic" country with 1.2 billion to steer into education and some
sort of sustainability, we are left groping in the dark, playing vote-bank
politics and cannibalizing whatever merit we have earned through the
economic boom.
