Listening to Presidential candidate Barack Obama talk about Pakistan, India, and Kashmir I am struck with doubts about my decision to vote for Obama. I have been wary of his change of positions on a number of issues as he moved from primary contest to general election. The specter of a republican administration even if McCain were to be trusted not to swing too far to the right was too much to accept. Eight years of empty promises of compassionate conservatism, smaller government, freedom and liberty, and integrity and decency were enough.
Mr. Obama's sudden shift to play referee in the sixtyone year old tussle between India and Pakistan over Kashmir does not bode well. Mr. Obama's views on this are age old Democratic party view of India. I hope he has better intelligence than what he has shown on this issue!
