Just wanted to point out that there was no 'No Confidence' motion in the parliament. It was actually a 'Motion of Confidence' moved by the congress party to demonstrate its majority. Small but important difference.

I'm confused. When Sen Obama demands more welfare spending for Americans Islamweek sees that as a good thing and Republicans are minions of Satan for opposing it. Yet this article seems to indicate that economic policies that would encourage growth and private enterprise would have been more fiscally responsible (in India at least). How did this article get past the Islamweek editorial board??
