Yeah, right. Someone please tell these European non-entities to mind their own darn business. And, while they are at it, they may wish to read the following, then reconsider their foolish condescension:

PR,
I am afraid that this and other demands of si milar nature is going will voiced too frequently considering US-India dialogue.
China will be next.
Further I understand that you are ardent supporter of America and being an Indian you will naturally want to see these two counteries together.
My position is more circumspect (realist ,you may say), while 9/11 combined with opening up of Indian economy has brought a better understanding and appreciation of India for America, America is still infatuated with Pakistan.
"War on Terror" notwithstanding the claims is still an american war, with no benefit for India.
The only reasons that I can think for American engagement with Pakistan is that either America is being too dumb or too smart.
Pakistan is a time bomb and sooner or later it is going to hurt everyone, India being the worst affected.
Regards
Primary Red ,the thought of Norway lecturing hurts us Indians.Perhaps we need to keep that in mind the next time we or your favourite - the US lecture other countries. Or would you say Norway does not have the right to lecture us while we have the right to lecture others ;-)
history_lover, "hurts us" are strong words - they're more of an irritant that needs to be ignored. This grand, futile gesture serves no purpose except having Norway reinforce it's pacifist credentials.
dg, I hardly consider this a demand. Further, Norway wouldn't dream of voicing this sentiment if it were home to a Nokia or an Erickson or a Bofors that sold to the the Indian market. In other words - they've not got much to lose, else they'd be more careful.
My reaction to their statement - the big "Whatever"!
My reaction to their statement -"the middle finger".
On US-India, critics are missing the forest for the trees. This is exactly like critics looking at pending Indian challenges (poverty, illiteracy, infrastructure gaps, inept bureaucracy) to dismiss naively its mind-numbing overall advance.
While this blog has frequently dismissed the significance of UNSC, and explained why incumbents will conspire to keep new folks out (yes, even Japan) -- to set the record stright about US, it has publicly stated that it will support Japan plus one other (which has been correctly interpreted as India, since Germany and Brazil will never get US support).
Best regards.
