Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh says India wants to strengthen its ties with Iran.
Mr Singh told parliament that India's support for a resolution reporting Iran to the UN Security Council did not detract from its close relations.

He also said India remained committed to building a pipeline to carry Iranian gas across Pakistan.

Mr Singh's Communist allies have criticised him for voting against Iran at the UN nuclear agency, the IAEA

The government's Communist allies, whose support is essential for its survival, have accused it of coming under American pressure to vote against Iran at the IAEA.

Mr Singh also recommitted his government to building a gas pipeline through Pakistan to Iran - a seven billion dollar project fiercely opposed by Washington

3. It looks as if the non-Western nuclear powers are lining up with Iran

as if to say, "Don't you dare."

4. Yes.

There seemed to be a bit of vacillation about it, but it seems they have decided they are more afraid of what the Bushites might do.

5. China too

China and India need more oil and natural gas. Iran has it.

"Mr Singh also recommitted his government to building a gas pipeline through Pakistan to Iran - a seven billion dollar project fiercely opposed by Washington" :rofl: No kidding! As if they care what the US says.

6. ***SIGN MY PETITION: NO WAR WITH IRAN!****

Hello,

For the past year, the growing tensions mounting between the US, Israel, and Iran are reaching a point where military action against Iran is w/in months of becoming reality. The repercussions are terrifying as such military action could involve countries such as China and Russia as they share massive energy/economic interests w/ Iran. The most likely scenario we would face would be the collapse of the US economy as the combination of a massive rise in oil prices and a run on the US dollar would surely be the weapon many countries would use to fight back against a preemptive US or Israeli strike.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.

Thanks for your time,

7. An interesting link:

Now, check out the other article on the LBN entitled "Bush defends Indo-US nuke deal".

"I believe that it is a good policy for the United States to encourage these emerging economies to use clean energy, nuclear power, so as to help reduce demand for kind of non-renewables. And so I'm going to talk to them about development of a civilian nuclear power industry", said Bush.

I wonder what he thinks NOW?
