<b>"Iraq was sought to be repeated in Iran and India was this time party to it," </b>he said adding JD(U) would launch a nationwide campaign to oppose the UPA government's decision to vote for taking Iran's nuclear issue to the UN Security Council.
Taking a swipe at the Left parties and the Samajwadi Party in the matter, Fernandes said if their opposition was limited to just making public statements, when they are in a position to reverse the course, the people of India were bound to treat them as <b>"a hypocritical lot trying to run with the hare and hunt with the hound".</b> <!--emo&

India could have stayed neutral, I don't understand what India will gain?
Left and Congress were against Iraq attack but voted for Iran.

Remember Mitrokhin reports and pervasive Soviet influence during Indira Gandhi's time.
The history is probably repeating itelf.
Any war has a tremendous cost in lives of innocents i.e children and women. Going to war against a country just because of few lunatics is against humanity. IMO Forced settlements will leave behind seeds for future wars as shown by WWI and WWII.
