Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Thursday told the media how George Bush thrice sought his help in the war on Iraq, and how he refused the American President.
Vajpayee told Bush that India believed war was not a solution to any problem and so could not help. India is also trying to consolidate the support of many countries to prevent escalation of the battle between US and Iraq, Vajpayee said.
"I have written to the heads of many countries including China, Russia, France and USA as we are very seriously concerned with this war which goes against the United Nations," Vajpayee said.
Just last year we stepped in to prevented a nuclear situation between Indian and Pakistan. The United Nations didn't stick their neck into that one. I can only think a lot of these countries have stopped taking us seriously after 8 years of Clinton waffling. I don't think they appreciate Bush's resolve or his words when he told the world that they we either with us or against us. A number of countries are going to learn that their actions have consequences.
