True, reneging is 2nd nature to the US, but dear Peter, in the backdrop of a near radiation disaster at Trombay due to hiccuping supplies of enriched plutonium, do we really have the choice of being in the driver's seat vis-a-vis the accord? We will need certain compromises which is rudimentary to any deal. As we speak, news is that India has managed to bargain freedom of re-processing spent fuel and extricate itself from punitive cut-offs of enriched supplies if it has to conduct further nuclear experiments which is a fairly positive sign, unless the goof-headed politicians in the fray, IAEA or the NSG blast it with their 2 penny's worth.
