Lets analyse the deal in the correct perspective of who gains and who loses. The biggest gainer is of course India, which gains energy security and washes the stains of Post Pokharan-II. USA gains as its civilian nuclear companies get to build plants in India. NSG gains as it gets a permanent market in India. Now the losers: Pakistan, which will not get any deal akin to this. Iran and its cohorts, who can't threaten pulling the plug on oil again. And the biggest Daddy of them all, CHINA. It just loses a big face in the world, concedes a lot of ground to India strategically and politically as well as economically. Now the BIG QUESTION is, what can CHINA do about it? Well, the answer is obvious. Since it has no control over USA and Bush, and no control over the UPA and India's foreign policy, the obvious way to block the deal is to use its PALS in CPIM and the entire Left parties. Lets not forget that these were the same parties who kept mum during Chinese aggression in 1962. Lets also not forget the fact that by doing China's bidding the left is also helping Pakistan. It would not surprise me at all to know that some discreet China funds are at play here. Well, the Left never had it so good. They can really sell the country to its arch enemies while donning the cap of a Nationalist! LAL SALAAM!!
