There is no doubt we will be on the brink of energy crisis if we don\'t go for all available energy sources. But I wonder why Manmohan Singh is not talking about Iran gas pipeline project? I suspect some international political motivations in this deal. To show americans, we are independent policy minded, we don\'t have to go for another nuclear weapons test. Making Iran gas pipeline project a reality would be a fitting example of our independent minds. But I doubt, Manmohan can dare that. After all we have seen Mani Shankar Iyer having his portfolio changed because he was pressing too hard for Iran gas project. Americans have already started interfering our policy making for sure. If we have to ally with americans in that way, then we must make maximum economic use of the new relationship. Otherwise India will become another Pakistan in terms of US intervention into internal and foreign policy matters.
