Well Yazad beats me to this. Swaminomics has another article describing the hypocrisy exhibited by all the actors in the current Iraqi drama.

Needless to say, India isn’t let off the hook.

India says the UN should sanction any war on Iraq. Did India ask the UN permission for its 1971 war with Pakistan? Not at all, it acted unilaterally. Officially, India claims that Pakistan started that war through an air attack on December 3. In fact the Pakistan Air Force was simply responding to the intrusion of Indian troops into East Pakistan on November 21, an invasion reported by the international press but blanked out totally by the tame Indian press.

I was watching “Question Time India” on BBC yesterday where I learnt that India’s motion to liberate East Pakistan was opposed by 114 out of 160 members of the United Nations General Assembly (I am not able to find any reference online)

And guess which permanent member of the security council vetoed the entry of Bangladesh into the UN general assembly in 1972?

Modesty forbids me from mentioning that I have blogged on the same theme a while back
