He said the war foisted upon Iraq in the name of baseless charges of possessing weapons of mass destruction had resulted in widespread destruction. ``The Bush administration is responsible for the destruction and loss of lives,'' he alleged.

``India should stand by Iraq, its people and Saddam Hussein in such circumstances.''
