　　President Bush says India and the United States have never been closer than they are now. In a television address to the Indian people from a historic fort known as "Purana Qila" in New Delhi, Mr. Bush said rivalries of the Cold War kept the two democracies separate for decades. But now, he said, the two together can transform the world.
