Sorry. No CSPAN alert. The Prime Minister is not on. They

advertised it. He may have been on earlier and I missed it or something. Check CSPAN's Washington Journal and they may already have the video uploaded.

Did anyone watch it?????

The ambassador, who when he appeared on Wolf Blitzer Reports, he stated that India was not in need of any help and that they had went into action within hours of the tsunami.

He really wanted to make it clear that India did not ask ANYONE for any help, that they were helping their neighbors, and have turned down help from the Australia, Canada, U.S., Russia, Israel (which Fox wrongly reported that India was turning down aid from Israel in an attempt to make India's opposition either a religious matter or a political matter).

I have to say that I was rather surprised by his tone when he was on CNN. He appeared to be rather angry about the fact that the World assumed that India needed anyone's help. I thought it was suspicious and that India was not putting its people first due to either politics, religion, or they were hiding something they did not want the other countries finding out in their country. I felt this way because of all the starving people I have always heard about in India. Also, Mother Teresa spent her life in Calcutta helping the poor (I thought).

I posted this earlier about the ambassador and his attitude and some of the other members pointed out to me that the U.S. as well as Israel were wanting to bring in a large amount of military personnel. Also, with aid there are strings usually attached.

If this is his reasoning, I don't blame the man and his country's leaders one bit. However, the main objective is the survivors' of this tragedy and their welfare. That should be first and foremost for all of the countries willing to help as well as India itself.

This was on earlier today; however, I missed that and maybe some of you did too. I thought I would post it just in case anyone else would like to watch it. Sorry if this is a repeated post.
