Narendra Modi sees his own vindication in George W. Bush's triumphalist seizing of a second term against fervent worldwide hope that challenger John Kerry would do something, anything, to wrest the White House from the neo-cons. Said Mr. Modi: "I see a lot of similarity between [Mr.] Bush's election speeches and my election speeches during 2002. [Mr.] Bush took up the issue of terrorism, something that I too did during my gaurav yatra. [Mr.] Bush warned off America's enemies while I warned Gujarat's enemies. I challenge political pundits to analyse that."
