People like Rajiv Sikri kept India backward all these years on some unfounded fear. Why is it that we are worrying over the impact of something we don't even have. We have non-working nuclear powerplants with the scientists working fulltime to prevent access to others so that the crap they produce is not evaluated by others. We have a missile scientist who sold his non-flying missiles so well that he has become the president. It's a small matter that of all the missiles produced by him only Prithvi still flies. Same with the nuclear establishment. A bunch of useless scientists whose only achievement till date has been to miss all targets which they have themselves set for themselves. Mr Sikri says, we stand to lose. We don't have uranium, whatever we have are bombs. Now if US is helping us setup new plants without disturbing existing ones, how does it matter? Do we want to support the same Iran which had supported Pakistan during our 71 war? Iran tried it's best to scuttle our deal by launching threats, etc. People like Sikri are playing into their hands. Does it matter to us if some CIA or other agency keeps tabs on our program? They anyway do so.
