I did think about it while writing. <BR/><BR/>But we need to remember that though a person may have a smart and scheming personality, he/she may still be clueless when it comes to bigger issues like national esteem and international affairs. <BR/><BR/>Most of our other politicians know what they are doing, and even know it when they are wrong.<BR/><BR/>For example, Ms.Mayawati might know whats right, but she might still do the wrong thing when she can take the liberty. But here, it seems that the only way this woman knows is the crooked one, which is why I said "mediocre", not a "total dumbo". <BR/><BR/>Also, why would the chinese take the trouble to invite her instead of the official heads of state such as the President and the PM (bot of whom can serve the chinese well, if needed) unless they know that they can get a better bargain out of this woman?Gandaragolakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364773312144169635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11212613.post-39627074259874230402008-08-20T10:24:00.000+05:302008-08-20T10:24:00.000+05:30I would not agree with your last para, after readi...I would not agree with your last para, after reading "Who is Sonia" by Subramanian Swamy. She has, or rather she assumes that she has idea about what she is doing. But she has to remember that these Chinese are not like "RG" :)Thiagarajan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658334428651530075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11212613.post-63960271467386433532008-08-16T13:36:00.000+05:302008-08-16T13:36:00.000+05:30hahaha!
