RE:An appeal to BJP
by albert fernandes on Oct 17, 2007 12:00 PM

I am glad you are bringing up real issues here than just bashing china or usa.
1. We only have to expose only some of our plants, especially those bought from other countries.

We should not label people as agents but a honest debate will bring out the merits of the deal and show how badly we need it.
2. We get to choose what we keep secret.
3. we can build more military nuclear plants, there is no cap on that.
4. Our thorium reserves are useless without uranium anyway, there is nothing to desecrate.
5. we got a better deal than japan for reprocessing.
6. we dont have to depend on us for all the nuclear stuff, we can get plants from france and russia, uranium from australia and technology from toshiba of japan. Many countries are waiting to do nuclear business with us.
7. Other suppliers are not bound by the hyde act for us to return stuff to them. Most material cannot easily be dismantled and returned anyway and they dont want it back. It is only a political statement.
8. We have to plan smartly for nuclear tests by getting all our nuclear stuff from other countries but keep usa happy by buying fighter jets from them.
9. India actually does not care too deeply about Iran. It is being used to squeeze more from USA. But foreign policy and global alliances always change so we should not worry about breaking or building bridges, we should be careful though.
