I am an Indian citizen and feel hurt and insulted at double standards being adopted by Bush administration and forcing its own laws on my country. After creating situations where lakhs of innocent people have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq Bush administration is now in the process of hurting Indians.

That's the Bush administration for you. I am not surprised at all by this and I don't blame you for feeling insulted. I do not know much about India and it's relationship with the U.S., if we are on good terms with India then there is no reason for the Chief Minister to be denied a visa. Look at all the terrorists and criminals from other countries that have been given visas by the U.S. and they were not elected officials. Also, the U. S. has enough countries disliking us due to the Bush administration. The last thing the U.S. needs is to be on bad terms with another country. Unfortunately, that is something the Bush administration is not wise enough to think of.
