Firstly there are no friends in Politics. Any one who thinks that way is plain "STUPID"! Its all about strategic interest. Its in US interest to have a Nuke Deal with India as it will help its sell tech to India plus help tap into Indias vast Nuclear Labor force that US is in short supply off. Its great for India as it despratly needs more energy to keep its economy growing. Nuclear is one path that can help but we need more nuclear material to fulfill that dream. This deal is great for India. The only people who are crying are opposition members who feel they have lost a golden opportunity as history will give credit to Congress. I feel party politics is destroying India. We should think what is good for the nation and forget about party politics.
And all this talk about US trying to PIT India against China. Give me a freaking break. China was our enemy even before US came into the pic. Some people have no memory, OLD FARTS !. CHINA attacked India. China helped our arch rival PAK to get NUKES. We should be glad that US has come to our aid because I feel India will find it hard to deal with both PAK and China if they gang up on us. We need Good allies with similar interest that will help us. US is a great strategic ally in this cause.
