During the Gulf war, I was one of those who stayed with my company in the Kingdom. The management had taken all security measures for us. And they provided us with gas masks, too. One day an official from the US Embassy called our chief accountant and advised him to collect a gas mask from the embassy for his wife, who is of US origin.
Since she had already been provided a mask by the company, she had not availed it from the embassy. Later we came to know this: When the embassy people matched the number of masks against the US citizens residing in the Kingdom, they found somebody had not collected the mask. They checked the records and found the wife of our chief accountant was one of them. This is how America and other Western nations take of care of their citizens!
And India? Bhopal gas tragedy tells us everything we need to know, doesn’t it?
