This is an outrage that America should try to force India to do their
bidding and have their sons killed for the greedy American oil interests. It
just goes to show you how low this American administration is stooping to
prevent the political backlash in America. Can we please start a petition to
voice our opposition to this disgraceful request and send it to the Indian
Embassy and Indian Government? It must be stopped! If India, another soverign
country who was steadfast against this unjustified war on Iraq, bends to this
pressure...it will only serve to reward this American administration for its
egotistical, power-hungry and war-making policies.

India should at least from now on. During the 50 years India always
opposed US whether it is in UN or NON-aligned (an useless organization). When
they opposed US tooth and nail everywhere they should not expect US to
support India. Let us make a beginning from now and start supporting US.
India will only benefit from this.
As for Indian soldiers being killed in Iraq. Well what about the Indian
soldiers killed in Kashmir by the militants. When did the Journalists of
Indian media and the Politicians realize that the soldiers are also human
beings? It is sad that many of the Indian journalists like Arundhathi Roy etc
are terrorist sympathisers. They have absolutely no regard for a soldier's
life.
By deploying troops in Iraq, Indian soldiers will be exposed to modern
warfare tactics of US. Besides US will also be removing all restrictions on
the supplies of sophisticated military hardware. Unless India boldly supports
US, it is doomed to be an irrelevant country.

Will America stand by & support India, if India takes action on Pakistan
just as America took against Taliban & Al-quida in Afganistan. Will America
sign an agreement with India to this effect, before asking us to send Indian
troops to Iraq?. If America is not willing to support India on Kashmir &
ending cross border terrorism, India can send troops ONLY UNDER UNITED
NATIONS Flag.

This writer is apparently anti-NDA and anti-progress ideologist with the
leftist economic concepts. The writer does not conceal his anti-free market
stand. He forgets the immense progress made in India and her external
policies during the reign of NDA government. US anti-India policies dates
back to the foolish communistic, pro-Russian and pro-Chinese policies of
Nehru and Krishna Menon. No government on the earth today could stand against
the super power USA. Any wrong move by Indian government against US will harm
India's economic progress and will weaken her in every sphere. NDA has
improved its foreign policies and has brought about a major change in US
policies towards India. Previously, even smaller states even in the
neighborhood of India insulted her. Let's not make a foolish decision today.
Indian troops have been sent all over the world including to fight Hindus in
Sri Lanka. A small token contribution of Indian troops to Iraq will not
change the US equation there, but it will bring a lot of contracts and
employment to India for Iraq's development. On the other hand, Pakistan will
be the winner again with Paki troops in Iraq. India has accumulated a lot of
problems today due to 50 years of misrule and foolish ideology. Let's become
pragmatic and do something good for our mother country. Please don't ever
believe that these Muslim countries are ever going to back India against
Pakistan. Jai Hind.

Did anyone notice Australian Forces [who were the 2nd biggest ally of USA
in the attack on Iraq] have brought their troops back home. Of course USA
will now look for any "third party" [expendable] troops as a buffer. You
don't need to be a rocket scientist to know the US motives to woo India on
this. Lets hope our Indian govt. doesn't get sucked into it. A Proud

Perhaps we should attempt to reach our congressman and senators, as well
as the think tanks and the black caucus to see our point of view about our
position with respect to Paksitan and it's WMD's and terrorism.
I believe we can reach our congress and senators and have them support us
and change Bush's policies. Iraq is not our war and there does not seem to be
any evidence of weapons of mass destruction as we used in Iraq ourselves.
India should use diplomacy and dialogue to her advantage without having to
get involved in poorly designed policies of the Bush administration.
Ask yourselves, exactly what are we getting and what are we compromising
for what we " be "might" be getting. Is the risk worth the reward. Why are we
being forced to play the under cards. India is in a better position to
negotiate better for herself instead compromising and settling. Besides, why
are asking for permission from others to go after Pakistan? Also, when will
show Pakistan that we don't this saga to continue and we will put a stop to
it once and for all. Why are we waiting for Pakistan to have military
superiority over us when we can put the issue of Kashmir to rest once and for
all.
