While critics have claimed that President Clinton's trip last week to India was representative of lame-duck foreign policy pursued by the second-term president, the importance of the journey should not be dismissed.

Surrounding a photo of the socialist and a rising red Communist star, the words "Workers of the World Unite" are written in a plethora of languages.
