WASHINGTON - The State Department on Friday advised all but essential American diplomats in India to leave and urged about 60,000 Americans there to quit the country as well because of rising danger of conflict between India and Pakistan. | |

| I think it is a shame that corporate Execs are always trying to find the cheapest source of labor and moved many jobs oversees to 2nd or 3rd world countries just to save a buck!  If I was Congress, I would pass a law that would severelly tax companies for moving the HeadQuarters or workforce out of the US!  Where I live in Texas, every company wants a ten (10) year tax abatement or they will go somewhere else. Then when those companies want to close or move before the time is up, the city or state government is hard up to get their tax dollars from them for what they never paid, yet had the priviledge and use of the city's services! 
I used to complain when I had to deal with Oracle tech support and 50% or more were Indian and their English was hard to understand seeing it was a second language to many! Atleast when I dealt with Cisco, I would talk to somebody in America during the day, otherwise it was Australia or Belgium and I never had to complain or ask if I could talk to somebody else seeing I could not understand their accent or English! 
Did you catch the names of the Fortune 500 companies that are possibly going to be affected? They hire them for 1/5 of what they pay in the states and when they bring them to the USA with a H1B VISA, they still pay them low wages and screw the employees. Don't worry, they are not talking about that many US citizens, mostly those jobs are for Indian nationialists, but are US companies! | |

| Outsourcing is good in certain point of veiw on the business vision.
But if the situation that is affecting our own courtry workforce. I strongly disagree what they did over them.
The "P" is trying to get the Eco to go up while within the State try to bring it down.
Is it some  or someone don't pay attention in the congress meeting. |
