INDIA, IRAQ & US

On Iraq, the Government of India has taken the politically and morally correct stand of calling for a strict implementation of the UN Security Council resolution on the question of the search for any weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and the capability for producing them still in the possession of Iraq and for destroying them and, simultaneously, opposing any unilateral action by the US and the UK against Iraq by bypassing the UN. India holds that it is for the Iraqi people to decide the legitimacy and humanity or otherwise of the Saddam Hussein Government and that it is not for the US or the UN or any other external power or institution to dictate what kind of Government the Iraqi people should have.
