Modi goes with a begging bowl asking for favors, these ME chaps go with requirements and deals. Obviously they have respect. Besides US know that the Indian PM s an accused, out on bail because of a tainted judiciary.
@Sanjay: And what do you say about the millions killed by American war machine in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc. ? Mostly innocent lives on the name of fighting terrorism.
In India it looks like entire US is talking about Modi when he is there. but reality is we feel so because of so much media hype in India, I live here in Washington and I didn't get to know from TV or newspaper, but on Facebook all my crazy friends were going gaga as if Modi has replaced Obama. Time to face the reality things are same but on social India is world's reachest and most powerful country.
