this is interesting. because it is the defence department which is waging the war. and india has been forced to oppose the war, officially. it has even called the present war a mistake. i see a definite policy disagreement here.
Saurav, making a few rumbling noises in concert with 200 other nations for the sake of iraqi civilians isnt any policy disagreement. 'calling' yeah thats so offensive I guess Bush will sanction india tomorrow.
of bigger concern, maybe, is that with the vopourization of the united nations, india has no one to appeal to with its problems with pakistan. it is completely at the mercy of united states.
and what has the UN done for india wrt Pak ? 'appeals' are useless both to UN or US. UN will exist for NGO work and do a good job as usual.
india-US relations are driven +ve by a common worry: China. now you see where PACOM comes into picture.
lastly, nukes or no nukes China is a emerging hegemon. you either shape up and gather the technology or prepare to be a vassal state thats all.
