What a powerful group that worked for the formation of this report! The panel was fantastic and gave a very simple summary. I could see in the audience some figures I've learnt about - Mr. Cohen, Mrs, Schaffer etc. My fellow Indians need to get their act together and not cite domestic dynamics as an excuse for not being able to conclude the nuclear deal or reforms. WAKE UP! Lasltly, kudos for your work! One suggestion - the quality of video was terrible and needs to improve.

2. Do you know 54% of American Economy is driven by Military Industrial Complex. Till 1990 they justified it by magnifying the Soviet threat to the average American Public, who don't read much about their own country, let alone what's beyond, and therefore, easily panicked. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, USA needed something to justify continuation of the War Economy - some kind of threat, some kind of Pearl Harbor. That's what the PNAC document is all about.

2 . Pakistan was given birth to by the English Colonialist and their faithful Indian servants. And the current shape of Pakistan - a failed state that it is today - is a gift of American Foreign Policy which is determined by Council for Foreign Relations, with whom India is sharing a platform in this video. India has it own pragmatic reasons to share this platform and pretend that India is not aware of its nefarious activities, something you wouldn't understand. Keep studying without comments.
