Lord Le Stat from India - America As Seen By An Indian
Dear America,
This is Lord Le Stat from India. A few days ago, I got an e-mail from your MySpace ID, stating that you would like to have my views about your country.
It is with this regard that I am writing to you.
First and foremost, I love America for it has given me the greatest love of my life, i.e. Rock music. Secondly, I admire the respect that your country shows to individuals and organizations with respect to privacy, intellectual property rights, human rights and how can I not state the "engine" which drives your nation, i.e. capitalism, though not perfect, its good for your country to a certain extent.
I also admire the multi-culturalism that is very much present in your country. If you'd asked me for an opinion about your country a few years back let's say 10 years back, maybe I would not have been bothered to say anything, because I believe that only a decade or so back did racial minorities in your country, primarily, African Americans/Blacks got the respect, which they very well deserved and started being treated as equals.
It is very good to see that your country takes great care of its citizens and also its minorities, i.e. religious, ethnic, linguistic and so on and so forth.
What is also amazing is that you country is the most powerful country in this world, as of now, and like my country, we showed the Brits, who the Boss was, when they colonized our respective nations.
Freedom of speech, highest regard for education and entrepreneurship are something which will help your nation in long term, as they are doing now.
But, like every other thing in life, your nation too isn't without flaws, when I say this, I am talking about your country's foreign policy, vis-a-vis, India & Pakistan.
The US Administration has and will continue to harbour hegemonically ambitions, which too a certain extent are megalomanical, which hasn't always worked out good for US, what with Osama Bin Laden proving to be a Frankenstein's Monster and Russia's recent rise is again not a cause for happiness.
Playing two nations against each other, point in case, rapproachment with India, with whom relations were nothing to speak about during the Cold War, against China, is going to do no good to the US, because if the US continues to do so, it will prove that the US is either ignorant of the term, Frankstein's Monster or is too blinded by its selfishness [selfishness to a certain extent is good, not 100% selfishness = path to self destruction]
If the US could show some sincerity and shed the baggage of hypocrisy, that it has shown while dealing with nations, I believe it would benefit US and other nations.
Last but not the least, I look forward to better and improved relations between India and the US and hope that our two great nations, who not only are the most tolerant, vibrant and greatest democracies and economies of the world, do something for the betterment of the world.

Who's "Holly US"? Some kind of supermodel?
I'd like to meet her. :-)
Holy or holly, it isn't the matter? :P
As an American, I am very impressed with your country. India has managed to preserve established traditions while absorbing new customs, traditions, and ideas over the centuries. I applaud your democratic system. We see there's a lot of poverty in India, which will be difficult to eradicate in a country of over one billion people. America has its hands full trying to solve our problems in a country of only 300 million. Yet, it seems evident that the general standard of living in India is going to rise very significantly over the next several decades. My impression of India is that it is very progressive, open to trade, wants peaceful relations, and the people are tolerant, spiritual, and value education and technology. President Bush's India policy is premised on the belief that no other relationship will be more important in shaping the world of the 21st Century. America's relationship with India is based on shared interests and shared values and touches a wide variety of areas. However, in regard to Kashmir, if that's what you mean by our nation's policies towards Pakistan and India, the majority of Americans are clueless. That doesn't mean we don't care. We simply don't hear about it, or know the history surrounding the issues.
The more I read on the Internet, the more I realize that the average American (myself included) is quite ignorant of what's really going on in the rest of the world. It's not that we're arrogant or that we don't care. Clearly, we care very much when we become aware of a disaster occurring in any country. Americans are very concerned and very generous in sending supplies, money, and all forms of aid to the victims of disasters. The main problem here is we are simply uninformed. Other countries seem to be interested in what's happening in America on a daily basis. Our news also focuses on what's going on in America. The amount of time allotted to international news is relatively brief. We don't even hear all that much about what's going on in Iraq these days.
I imagine you know a lot more about U.S. international policies than the vast majority of Americans do. It's not part of our daily lives and until it effects our daily lives in a significant manner, it's not in the news. The information is available to anyone who takes the time to look. But, the average American is busy with their jobs, or school, raising their family, outside activities, volunteer work, their church, spending any free time with family and friends, travel, and functions pertaining to their interests. There's never enough hours in the day to do everything you need to do or want to do that's available to you. Then, there's the fitness aspect. It's incredible that America is getting more and more obese, when so many people belong to gyms and believe regular exercise is important. This may all sound self centered. But, in reality, it's not. Doing for others and caring for those who are less fortunate is a basic principle in this country. Every person I know spends time individually or as part of a group in some form of charitable activity. I believe American TV and movies are doing the American people a huge disservice in relation to our international image. All that TV and movie stuff is only for entertainment and has nothing to do with the lives of average Americans.
U.S.A is holy and beautiful
Bush is beautiful too
