Even India is not supporting an attack on Iraq, although it has gone out of its way to build a strong alliance with Israel, and was, "gyrating its hips" quite seductively when the US wanted to attack Afghanistan.

This is a sequel to last year's public probe that HindustanTimes.com launched to unravel the mystery of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's disappearance in 1945.
