I'm trying to be useful: Clinton

Former US president Bill Clinton said on Wednesday by visiting quake-ravaged Kutch, he was only 'trying to be useful'.

"I don't know. I am just trying to be useful at a place I care about," Clinton told reporters when asked whether he had assumed the role of a goodwill ambassador after relinquishing presidency.

Clinton recalled that Vajpayee had told him that the world was coming to help India following the earthquake but 'once it is over, there would be the task of rebuilding'.

The former American president also termed as 'wonderful' the relief and rehabilitation work being carried out by Indian and international agencies, which responded to the tragedy.
