India : IAF, RAF men to battle it out for cricket supremacy
 
BY : PTI

British Royal Air Force (RAF) men and their Indian Air Force (IAF) counterparts will soon battle it out on a new turf -- in a contest not to show their military strength but to prove their prowess in cricket.

After the IAF men triumphed in most of the matches at a tournament played in the UK last year, the RAF team will try to settle scores in a similar competition in the national capital.

The time and fixture of the tournament is yet to be finalised, with defence sources saying it is likely to be held in December end or the first week of January.

"Last year, the IAF team defeated the RAF in most of the matches," Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major said on the sidelines of the Air Force Golf Cup here on Sunday.

Confident on his men's preparedness for the tournament, Major said, "IAF has requisite ammunition to take on the challenge and repeat last year's victory."

"We have some pretty good players in our side. No wonder we are confident."

He said cricket matches are being held to promote bonhomie between the IAF and RAF. Asserting that sports top IAF's list of recreational activities, Major said, they also provide an opportunity to "hammer out understanding between forces in an informal none-charged atmosphere".

"Sporting activities are one of the best stress busters for the IAF. They keep the boys fit -- both mentally and physically," he said.

    " Invading Washington
    by John Brown and Tom Engelhardt
    TomDispatch

    Over the last seven years, it's often been said that George W. Bush exists in a bubble. When it comes to the cast of characters in his administration – and the Washington Consensus generally – it turns out he isn't alone. The other night I watched Harvard academic Joseph Nye and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage discuss the crisis in Pakistan with talk-show host Charlie Rose. The two of them had just finished co-chairing a Center for Strategic and International Studies commission that produced a report, clearly meant for the next administration, on wielding American "smart power" in the world.

    Nye is an exceedingly conventional American internationalist; Armitage is a former "Vulcan" who, in the first years of the Bush administration, though Colin Powell's deputy at the State Department, was close to the neocons of the Pentagon, but may now be repositioning himself for a Democratic administration. They could be said to represent the heartland of the present Washington Consensus.

    Yet when they talked of Pakistani autocrat Pervez Musharraf ("I mean, Musharraf has been our boy, but we've not been able to do much with it…"), of the Pakistani situation more generally ("I mean, after Musharraf, there are other secular generals…"), and of the American role there ("Well, we have to be working with both Benazir Bhutto and also with our contacts in the army to make sure this doesn't turn into chaos…," "If you do anything to help Benazir, it has to be done very quietly and behind the scenes…"), they might as well have been discussing deploying federal "smart power" to Maryland, or more appropriately, to the U.S. Territory of Guam. Conceptually, they remain deep inside Washington's Pakistan, Washington's dream of a controllable world. -----"
