Does it all make sense now? [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

India is only a friend because it fits the current situation. Iran was once a very good friend of the US, back in the days of the Sjah, remember ? Same goes for Iraq, remember that as well ?
All in all this doesn't make any sense at all.
