hahahhah i guess the japs dnt knw tht if US doesnt push thro this treaty (more of an economical cooperation) then it would be it own loss as it has seen in cryogenic technology where it got the boot in the face when indian scientists developed their own technology in the face of US embargo. now that nuclear reactor manuf in the US have seen india as a vital business partner they r hankering down the neck of Bush to make this deal a success and bend backwards all the way to meet india's terms and conditions. this goes on to show how far can the US go to bend all rules in the book to fuel its economy and add megabucks to its already overflowing finances. Entice! Ha!
