Well, its true. One has to stand up for one's rights. You can't beg for a leadership position. You have to TAKE IT, and if someone gets in your way, you don't say "Excuse me" and go around them. You trample them over, so they do not dare rise again and be a hinderance. When your leader has no back bone, cannot present himself in front of the world as a STRONG leader, then you get what you deserve. You get pushed over. You have to be a fighter, like Mittal of Mittal Steal. You slap the face that makes faces at you. As far as the Nuclear deal, it was never ment to help India. It was meant to drag India under the control of IAEA and NPT, kicking and screaming. A few years ago, when world found to its utter dismay, that India was able of carrying out nuclear tests unnoticed, the mighty West started talking in G8 meeting about dragging India under control. The big bullies of the West could not tolerate a renegade "Third World" country to speed up and overtake them, let alone become powerful enough to become a contender for equal status.
