What about our ties with the Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia? Qatar, UAE not to mention Turkey etc who all support the FSA. We have vast business ties with them too not to mention meeting our oil/gas needs. Plus if the UN weapons inspectors say that Assad 'did' use chemical weapons on his own people on a humanitarian level being a 'global power' how can we justify being a democratic country to back his regime? (my own view is that Assad should crush the FSA like the rats they are but that's another story)
So having such a neutral stance works well for India in my opinion in this instance because what other option do we really have? I see none
Nobody cares about Democratic India supporting Dictatorial Syria when the Beacon of Democracy USA supports Dictatorial Monarchy of Saudi Arabia.....The Saudis will sell you oil for money irrespective of whom you support.....You need an alliance with Russia....You have no allies in the world....You are not a part of Nato and will never be helped by the US when you are in need!Russia and China have close ties....if you have an alliance with Russia they will help you by keeping China in check!Russia already helped you(and us) in 1971...its time you return the favor!
