keep in mind, those heroes you and I support on the front lines are further exposed because some nations want to see our country fail and refuse to support us. Thus, we have a greater proportion of front line troops, who are in harms way...imagine if many of these countries did step up to the plate and help us in 2003, etc. Iraq would be a different story and some of those 1300 angels would still be with us today. Maybe the Russians or the UN can help India?

Public opinion in India was largely against attacking Iraq, and Delhi originally said it would send troops only if the request came from the United Nations.

The issue of Iraqi peacekeeping was also raised by Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, who is in Delhi for talks with Indian leaders.

He told his Indian counterpart, George Fernandes, of his "grave concern about the ramifications" of India sending soldiers to keep the peace in Iraq outside the UN umbrella.

On Sunday, India's Deputy Prime Minister, LK Advani, told the BBC that his government had not come under pressure from Washington to send troops to Iraq.
