National security must be the concern
by balakrishnan varrier on Jul 02, 2007 11:06 AM

A large number of our politicians, camouflaged as socio-intelligentsia, try to fool the common man by bypassing the real subject and creating a sense of fear through unverified and irrelevant assertions.
The ship has American crews and the US Congresmen are always sensitive of their citizens' personal security unlike our politicians. If there are chances of radiation, it must first affect the crew. The fact that around 5,000 men and women are there aboard the ship itself is a safety cover for the outer world.
What our politicians must be concerned and should raise voice about, is the defence security of our country. The Vasco de Gama (Portuigese), the Dutch and the East India Company (British)anchoring history should not be repeated in a different way the docking of USS Nimitz at Chennai. But no one seems to be concerned about that.
It simply shows that the politicians are cashing on the Nimitz visit to get publicity mileage.
