There are pros and cons in signing the 123 Agreement with US but the developments going on with lefts after their threat to withdraw is not a good sign for India.What it indicates the parliamentary system in India is so weak that for a mere topic a running GOVT can fall anytime.This is also a bad sign for any future coalition GOVT in India.All important National and Foreign policies to be taken should be discussed and voted in Parliament itself and decided that they can be implemented or not.If its defeated there its okay.Had this 123 agreement defeated in US Congress there wouldn't have been any problem for Bush govt there as whats happening here in India.let the Parliament decide.But in India its a prestige issue for all the Govt in power.Let the Parliament discuss this matter and should have power to make it through and defeat it.This UPA Govt is very weak but India is not at all prepared for an election right now.It will have another hung Parliament and all the political parties know about it.Now it has become a prestige issue for Dr.Manmohan Singh,who somedays back dared lefts to withdraw support,and his Madam Sonia Gandhi to play it safe.There can be a "you win we win situation" for both left and UPA but this 123 deal will be affected.US is playing it safe and watching the developments but they are bound with their foreign policy.They will safeguard their interest first whether its India or any other country.Its really a bad luck for India.
