To all of us from Desi land what a eye opener this poll.

USA needs your mind, money and market.

China tops, India last, in list of 12 nations important to US: Poll
started by Lamberdar 10 hrs ago

WASHINGTON: Seven out of 10 Americans say what happens in China is vitally important to the US, while for India it is just three out of 10, the latest Gallup opinion poll has said.

As a result, China is placed on the top of the list of 12 countries, and India at the bottom, while Afghanistan 6th, Pakistan 8th and Egypt 9th.

Russia, the other super power of the Cold War years, is a ranked a spot ahead of India.

Gallup asked Americans to rate the importance of countries in this way in February 2007.

Americans' views of Iraq's importance have shown the greatest change over the last four years, dropping to 52 per cent "vitally important" today from 70 per cent in 2007, when Iraq topped the list.

At that time, President George W Bush had just announced his "surge" strategy in Iraq in response to deteriorating conditions there, and his party had suffered significant losses in the 2006 midterm elections, partly as a result of the debate over Iraq.

Now, with American combat troops withdrawn from that country and attention shifted to Afghanistan and other hot spots around the world, Iraq has slipped to 5th place, Gallup said.

In 2007, India was again ranked last in the list of 12 countries, but at that time only 28 per cent of the Americans considered India as a vitally important country, as against 31 per cent now.

"Americans' views that events in China are vitally important to the US have increased by 12 percentage points since 2007, putting China where Iraq was four years ago," it said, adding the importance of China in the average American's eyes likely reflects continuing awareness of the economic influence of China on the US and world economies.

Sunny Leone a true Canadian DESI now back in India !.

What is America?
Why so much importance given to them?
Do we think America is super power?
American missiles can't attack on China or any other middle east contries right from Washington so they need a place near China to create their own base; therefore, Pakistan & Afghanistan is more important than India.
America creates its own enemies. History says Pearl Harbor was attacked by their own American people and then blamed Japan so that they can have war. 911 attacks were also part of their own conspiracy. Once they have new enemy (Laden) they don't need the old enemy any more so got rid of Saddam. If they wanted they could have caught Saddam way long ago. Finding Laden is not as hard as they look like trying. Probably Laden is not a terrorist at all. There was no such terrorist group called Al-Qaida. It will be too late when the truth will come out.
