Roemer to be tapped for India Amb.

It may be an indication that President Obama does not think the cap and trade policy is the most important issue in dealing with India since he selected Tim Roemer as his ambassador to India. I agree with this decision because the threat of Pakistan and Afghanistan becoming even bigger headaches than they are today presents a bigger problem in the short run that needs to be dealt with. Roemer has the expertise in the nuclear energy industry and is quite familiar with the region. I think that moving forward, Roemer will be able to use some of the knowledge he gained while serving on the Homeland Security House Committee because he was privy to some very important information with regard to the power of nuclear energy. President Obama's plea to eliminate use of all nuclear weapons would be something that both India and Pakistan would have to agree to because as of now they hold the threat of using these weapons on one another if provoked. We do not want another war breaking out and so bringing as much peace and tolerance to the region is important. I hope that Roemer is able to contribute to this transition because we are counting on him to spark some real communication.
