Of course, I know thats not going to happen. But what a boon that would be to the people of the region!
I think that the US is already "friends" with India- to the extent that nations can be friends.

Why on earth do you think we would be anything but enemies with a regime in Teheran that opposes our existance and everything that we stand for in the world? When the Iranian people finally get rid of the crazies, then there will be something to talk about. Until then....
