Give me a break mr burns. You talk like a GOP candidate. India needs iran more than US needs isreal, so go and figure out. It is not just about oil, when you continue to buy chinese goods. The math is much complex that your zero sum game of middle east.
they quickly, flew dozens of their FIGHTER JETS, so that PAK could bombINDIA!
and, they `LOANed` out many many TANKS to PAK!
and, they gave full support to PAK, in international community!
also, the SAUDIz behaved in an identical manner. BUT! for years now, PAKIs are suicideBOMBING the SHIAz in PAK, killing SHIAz by the THOUSANDS...(iranis)
and, even worse, c0ngress is supporting both iran and pak! but not supporting india...so who is the worst enemy? pak? or, saudi? or iran, or c0ngress??

Iran has never caused any problems to India so there is no need to be against them. At the same time even India needs to think of getting a cleaner alternative to oil so that we have less pollution and more self reliance.
Even in USA itself there have been protests against the USA cossetting a monarchy in Saudi Arabia. Yet USA continues to import more oil from Saudi Arabia which is a slap in the face of democracy.
The US has found it expedient to supply arms to Pak-i-Stan for decades, besides shovelling USD to feed the rapacious appetites of your "ally". The very weapons that have over decades been used to attack India. Besides this, lest we forget, the US actively helped Pak-i-Stan get nuclear weapons by turning a blind eye and lying to the US Congress. Nicholas Burns, when you feel the bite of the slap, think about the deep wounds the US has repeatedly inflicted on India. Remember, it is not just US interests at stake. The legitimate interests of a democratic nation is also to be valued.
Iran hasn't done anything worse than Pakistan. The Shia bomb will remove the asymmetry that allows Saudis to finance their ideology using Sunni oil money. Indians should have closer relationship with Iran like what Chinese have with Pakistan.
US has been supporting Pakistan for more than 50 years and Pakistan has done more harm to India directly or indirectly than Iran has done to US. US has been slapping india in the face for more than 60 years now....its time india responded.
