It has long been an article of faith on the left that the United States has lost the support of its allies around the world. It is a major Democratic major talking point, and the mainstream media has never challenged it, even though it is based on a false and Euro-centric premise. (See my Has America Lost its Moral Authority, CFP, April 25, 2008.) I was in India this year to advocate for Bangladeshi Hindus, refugees from Islamist terror and ethnic cleansing and spent time in Delhi before leaving for the border areas. It was there I met anti-Islamist Amitabh Tripathi, introduced to me by Daniel Pipes. Tripathi represents a point of view shared by many Indians but rarely given voice in India’s mainstream media. He is profoundly interested in the US Presidential election primarily because he believes the results will be critical for successful prosecution of the war against Islamist extremism. In this interview, which he insisted on titling Opposing Barack Obama, Tripathi talks about why an Obama victory would be disastrous for Indians and others who live on the front lines of a war for our very survival.
