Please don't be condescending to me.

In fact, Shut up.

I'm just beginning to express myself.
This is a debate and you are telling me to shut up.
However, I'm typing.

I was just wondering why the country of India didn't join the coalition of the willing and send troops to fight along with our American Solders?

Full list of coalition countries:

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

Because they didn't want to, I assume. Go ask them.

Let's talk about the taking of Falluja by the Marines since you posted the picture of bbq'ed Americans.

A fine day for US Marine history, wouldn't you say, the storming of Falluja. Showed it to them Fallujans, didn't we, eh?

India didn't join because 1. They are traditionally non-aligned and 2. We were using Musharif and Pakistan as allies.

This should be obvious to anyone who has followed the war. This does not mean India isn't helping us in other ways.

Hey, you forgot Micronesia. (Actually, I think there are considerably more than those on your list.)

My guess is because we have put so much stock in Pakistan or at any rate its leader. Take about potential for hell breaking loose, Palestine is nothing compared with Kashmir. The Hindus and the Muslims have been at it for five hundrd years, but most intensely since the Partition of British India.
