In fact, they spoke out AGAINST the Iraqi war . . .

"Law and order must be ensured in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq at any cost…safety and security of media people in Iraq must be ensured as they are informing the whole world about developments there." -- M. Morshed Khan, Foreign Minister, Dhaka, April 9, 2003.

"Dhaka would act as per the UN decision."-- M. Morshed Khan, Foreign Minister, Dhaka, April 9, 2003.
