I used Ubuntu from 7.04 right up to 11.04 when they introduced Unity. I personally found it disrupting my workflow too much, so I tried Gnome 3 for a few months, and then XFCE. That was when I heard about Linux Mint and tried the MATE edition. Loved it, but missed the pretty Compiz animations from the Gnome 2 days. I've finally settled on Cinnamon as my favourite DE currently.
I always loved the Gnome 2 look and feel, and I found it much easier to customise Cinnamon (than Gnome 3) to look like Gnome 2. As a DE, it's still not as mature as Gnome and is missing a few minor features, but it seems to be getting there. I'd say it's worth a try for anyone looking for a modern version of a Gnome2-ish look.
No country can focus on only one of its problems until it's completely fixed, leaving its other issues untouched.
Anyways, the MIRV missiles here are decidedly not for defense, as the (very short) article also states. MIRV is a first strike weapon, meant to more thoroughly vaporize an area containing another nations nuclear armaments - there would be no reason to do this unless you're striking first. First strike == aggression != defense
Note that India has never invaded any country (unless you count the border disputes as a full-blown 'invasion'), and hopefully never will. The article mentions that India has a 'no first-use nuclear' doctrine, and it only says that MIRV missiles "put a premium on striking first", and not that the missiles are decidedly not for defence.
Most governments often don't have their priorities straight. Everybody has their own problems.
Besides, as rightly pointed out by a comment below, what logic says that India should stop worrying about its defence till all Indians are shitting in toilets?
A lot of Americans suffer from obesity, yet you oppose a ban on soda cup size as if a 16 ounce cup isn't big enough. Way to go, USA. There's nothing like getting your priorities straight.

Getting older doesn't mean you're without a clue. It just means you no longer always know where you put them.
You, sir, made my day.
The common sense kind of logic?
