Whats your point? How about me saying that India imports 55 billion dollars oil each year,primarily from Middle east. So why not we are colonies of the Mughals still? And history has it- Middle East is much crooked than US. And what does ME has, except oil? Any intellectual capital? Any signs of democracy? ANy scientific achievements in the last 100 years? Sir, pls admit that India is an energy deficient country. It has to find means to plug the gap. Nuclear energy is one options, and sure not the only option. I feel much more comfortable in being a US 'colony' than an Iran or Saudi 'colony'. One comment from US lawmakers, and you ppl start shouting as if the world has stopped. US is a democracy, and like there Senate talks/discusses the bills. What's wrong in that? Thankfully many countries in the world dont go by what their 'Supreme' leader says.. or do you want a world full of SUPREME leaders?
