India and Iran share a very traditional friendly relationship over the years. Besides, Iran is our Asian partner in the proposed Iran-Pak-India gasline which is very vital to India. The project would help India tide over some of its problems in the gas front.While US adminsitration is ready to sign the deal but some of their law makers are wary of India 's ties with Iran particularly the on going IPI.India should pursue its own foreign policy and that the proposed nuke deal with US should not be a thaw in the relationship with Iran. On the nuke deal US is as much interested as India. It is even ready to sign wthe deal with the minority govt. Though the deal is smeared in the murky Indian politics. But at the end of the day everybody would realise its importance. India need nuclear energy as an alternative to conventional and non-conventional sources which may dry up over the passage of time. Those who oppose today will appreciate the efforts of this Govt. Posterity would remember Dr.Manomohan Singh for his bold approach despite the roadblocks laid by the opposition.The debate in the Parliament will prove to be beneficial for the supporters of tghis deal as it would clear the clouds hanging over it for the past one year. If the deal is not through, it may be renegotiated by the BJP if they come back to power. In all probability if the Govt goes over this, then it would be advantage UPA. The polls would watershed on the policies of the UPA and allies vis-a-vis the nuclear deal.

What traditional friendship with Iran ? that was before Islam invaded Iran (Persia) and was home to native Parsi people.
Now look what has happened to it.. it has become very extremist country..ban/restriction on freedom.

Anyway supporting Iran is not in the interest of our country & our people.
I don't understand what is wrong in denouncing Iran's weapon program and support the international community in that regard. After all, India has said that it does not support nuclear Iran and it has in fact voted against Iran in UN. So, what is the problem for India to support USA against Iran other than just the so called idealism? I do support USA for any action against Iran. We don't want to see the nuclear weapon falls in the hands of terrorist and we all know what is the track record of Iran in that regard. Iran is governed by a muslim fundamentalist regime. It will be dangerous to let them have nuclear weapon. We will be far better off being friend to USA than friend to Iran. We can't have both as it is clear from the USA's standpoint. India should think practically and support USA against Iran.

My dear Sudip Bhattacharjee, Please understand that islamic terrorism arose consequent upon foisting the state of Israel on the Arabs.True, the jews sufferred terribly at the hands of the nazis of the Third Reigh.Why did the victorious Allies not carve out a piece of Germany and give it to the jews as their homeland?Would it not have been more appropriate? The western powers chose Arab land for this purpose, because they wanted to control oil rich middle east through the new state of Israel.Who are the jews in Israel?Most of them are european jews!Taking advantage of weak Arab govts, after the Great War, the Allies foisted Israel in Arab territory.This State,in the name of getting secure boundaries, became an expansionist state with diplomatic and material support from the US.The US would like Israel to be the only dominant power in the middle east.So, why should we help in this design?We have a large muslim population in our country.Iran is close to our borders, is energy rich and is friendly to India.Should we not foster this good relations with Iran rather than dreaming of a volatile relationship with the US, which is known to cast away friends once the purpose of friendship is served?

Why the Dollar Bubble is about to Burst? IRAN HAS REALLY DONE IT...more deadlier than the nuclear..
The Voice (issue 264 -) ran an article beginning, ' Iran has really gone and done it now. No, they haven't sent their first nuclear sub in to the Persian Gulf . They are about to launch something much more deadly -- next week the Iran Bourse will open to trade oil, not n dollars but in Euros' This apparently insignificant event has consequences far greater for the US people, indeed all for us all, than is imaginable.
Currently almost all oil buying and selling is in US-dollars through exchanges in London and New York . It is not accidental they are both US-owned.
The Wall Street crash in 1929 sparked off global depression and World War II. During that war the US supplied provisions and munitions to all its allies, refusing currency and demanding gold payments in exchange.
By 1945, 80% of the world's gold was sitting in US vaults. The dollar became the one undisputed global reserve currency -- it was treated world-wide as `safer than gold'. The Bretton Woods agreement was established.
The US took full advantage over the next decades and printed dollars like there was no tomorrow. The US exported many mountains of dollars, paying for ever-increasing amounts of commodities, tax cuts for the rich, many wars abroad, mercenaries, spies and politicians the world over. You see, this did not affect inflation at home! The US got it all for free! Well, maybe for a fores

does not need Iran, India has more gas reserves in KG Basin than Iran. And moreover the pipeline has to go through Pakistan which can then hold the country to ransom.

Numb Nut is not a nut, but you. It is nothing but foolish to get Iran gas through Pakistan. After spending all the money, you will not gas as I am sure Pakistan will all the tricks to stop it. Throw Iran and support Israel and USA.
The US says India should not have relations with Iran.If India tells the US not to have relations with Pakistan will they agree? If they agree we can also agree to their terms.

you are so correct, while the US calls Pakistan its greatest ally and gives it billions of dollars of aid, how can it ask India's foriegn policy to be aligned with US. If the US aligns its Pak policy with India's vision, then we can think of changing our Iran policy

People of entire India will dance and explode crackers when MMS govt fall down. People have no hope. UPA became Untruthful Purchase Alliance. People will praise the Left who beaten this anti-people govt.
Everybody understood today that they will sink with the ship and never escape who stand with Congress. Karnunanidhi, Lalu like parties must think the whole day, today. Otherwise, say Tata Bye Bye to Indian politics. Paid-writers must recognise that they will not be pleasant-smelling who lift an offensively malodorous group. If Congress could have done some good jobs for poor, 120 crore people would have remembered them.
Despite assurances to the contrary by Manmohan, US is coming out clearly on what it wants India to do in future... ;-)
Looks like USA has got the hint that Manmohan might just scrape through in the trust vote, so they are preparing for the next list of demands from him.... After he came back running from Japan to head straight off to IAEA on Bush's insistence.... :-) Long live congress.... another 60 years of doom is but a child's play for you... :-)

in US it was the republicans who fought for the blacks. The democrats kept quiet thinking what is the use in shaking up an existing economy which depended on the slavery of blacks.
Knickerwallahs are known for their love of Goebbelian communications techniques. Advani in his speech against the motion accused Nehru wanting to sign the NPT. Pranab Murkherjee literally caught him with his pants down. He retorted that how Nehru who died in 1962 could sign a NPT which came into force only in the 70s?
Apart from this, Advani's speech was a damn squib.
