Why didn't Dr.Singh...

There is so much talks going around by the presence of President Mahmud Ahmadinejad in Shanghai! Why not? With China and Russia around, if Iran's president is shaking hands with Hu Jintao and Putin respectively and has seperate "high level" discussions with them, then why not the whole world will look towards their small statements?

Till now, this for me is a low profile "get-together" as I have no idea about the same - Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) - A grouping of Russia, China, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Tajiks and Kyrgyzstan! Not any more! Well, but why did Iran's president make a presence? We have four more countries for this association - India, Pakistan, Iran & Mongolia - in observer status. And even Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan President has also made a guest appearance.

So, here is one group Russia, China & Iran who are more like anti-US. Pakistan & Afghanistan more like Pro-US. All the big heads from these countires joined this "get-together"! Interesting enough! Well, it seems Dr.Manmohan Singh didn't attend this conference - which ofcourse has been played low because of all other stuffs happening in this circle! But why?

Is it because, India has already voted for IAEA's proposal to report Iran's nuclear programme to the UN Security Council? Or is it because, India doesn't want to shake hands with the anti-US group? Or is it because, it just wants to play safe till the US-India nuclear programme gets through?
