There was a cartoon in the Times on India by Jug Suraiya & Ajit Ninan today, that echoes the mood of the people.
The cartoon describes Dr MMS with a cusp over the telephone speaker, perplexed, looking at more perplexed Sonia and RG telling- "It's Hosni, from Cairo, asking if we'll give him sanctuary. How do I tell him we were also thinking we might have to call him and ask for the same thing?" On his desk a desktop screen showing a pyramid top exploding, reports on Graft, Corruption, Scam, Scandal etc. Vive la Democrazy!
