Guys, guys, lets not shoot down the 123 Accord until the details emerge. We aren't self sufficient in fossilised fuels nor are we blessed with Uranium enrichment. We silently witness our economy shuddering whenever OPEC raises the stakes, which is ever so frequent. With this knowledge we definitely need to pursue deals for civilian nuclear power to cope up with the economic growth, forget growth - the shortfall one senses, each time you reach for the generator during load shedding. USA has not really been a reliable bilateral business partner in the past, beginning with the steel industry post independance(USSR helped us complete the project transferring outdated technology, OK the reason was India's socialist leanings then). Neither was USA of any help with our defense equipments against belligerent neighbours. Terrorism probably is incentive enough for USA to seek deals with India with a greater degree of fairness, considering India already possessing nuclear weaponry technology. There are many a slips still left - the intellectuals have finalised the 123 Accord but the politico-brethren on both sides still need to filter it with their own parochial intellect before they spread ink on the dotted line. Lets wait and watch.
