Indo-US nuclear deal
by Jay on Dec 22, 2006 11:02 PM

continued from earlier. The suspicion of US intentions are well qualified. US definitely thinks of its own interest and even India does that. India, being a democracy, sided with USSR because it was geopolitically closer than USA and US will definitely look at India with suspicion as it still does with Russia. US ignorance of the fact that Pakistan is the source of vicious terrorism against India and awarding Pakistan the major non-nato alliance status and the way it was done is enough evidence. I think this whole nuclear issue is more of simbolic message to China and the muslim world from US side. India's gain could be just the removal of isolation of India and end to snactions against India. Indian right wings should not compare the software prowess of India with core engineering technologies (except may be steel production, thanks to Mr.Mittal). They are right about India trying to find its own way. Having nuclear bombs are enough to deter Pakistan, Bangladesh and China for the time being. The supporters of the deal should stop name calling to the critics of the deal and realize that US influence is declining and India should deal with China independently.
