Nuke deal: Friedman unsure
by Vipul Sharma on Oct 12, 2006 08:43 PM

I am a big fan of Friedman. I admire his serious concerns about world politics and the rapidly changing parameters of human kind. But as natural no one can be correct always. This is what makes us humans.

Tom is a serious advocate of new measures that will revert global warming. He had talked about it on different platforms and recently launched a new documentary suggesting that India and China are next big problems for global warming. I am amazed that what he is suggesting (opposing nuke deal) will only propogate this problem. It would be stupid to think that India would like to slow down its economic boom due to lack of energy; if not nuke then coal/gas etc, polluting environment.

Keeping all politics aside there is another issue, "is NPT really working". It seems that countries can come in and go out of NPT anytime based on their comfort, example being North Korea, Iran. So why a responsible and peaceful country like India should be dragged into all this.

Tom should have given clear thinking on this one and I am happy to see him toppling on this issue since that bring normalize him in my rspect standards.
