Engineers Vs Lawyers ?

In Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat," book an interesting quote:


One problem we have today, though, is that so many Amarican politicians don't seem to have a clue about the flat world. As venture capitalist John Doerr once remarked to me, "You talk to the leadership in China, and they are all engineers, and they get what is going on immediately. The Americans don't, because they're all lawyers."

I love it when they talk dirty :-). Not all lawyers are clueless, though. What do you think about leadership in India? Are they clueless?
they are the "Yes Minister" types i suppose.
Hmm...then again Politics is better known as Dirty Politiks...
