India, US aligned across
range of issues: Bush

US President George W Bush has said that India and the US were increasingly aligned across a range of issues even as his country continued to work closely with Pakistan.

He made this statement on Tuesday at the Citadel, the State military college in Charleston, South Carolina.

He said that the new threat to civilisation from terrorism was erasing old lines of rivalry and resentment between nations.

"Russia and America are building a new cooperative relationship, Germany and Japan are assuming military roles appropriate to their status as great democracies. The vast majority of countries are now on the same side of a moral and ideological divide," he said.

"Staring across this divide are bands of murderers supported by outlaw regimes," Bush said.

Such people, he said, hate "progress and freedom and change and culture and music and laughter and women and Christians and Jews and all Muslims who reject their distorted doctrines. They love only one thing, they love power, and when they have it, they use it without mercy."

He warned that "for states that support terror, it is not enough that the consequences be costly; they must be devastating."
