The nuclear deal has gone the same way as all the initiatives of the Sonia Government, which have collapsed in the face of the slightest resistance from their CPA partners.
The agreement is one success that the President could have claimed as his historic achievement but then he could not have known how feeble the Government led by Singh. Singh had put his life of the Government on the line only to be contradicted by Gandhi. We will know very shortly if Singh is the puppet that we always thought he was.
The greatest defect for the agreement is the weak Singh administration. I am not overjoyed with the agreement but it would take a stronger administration to overcome its defects. The best thing for the country would be for Singh to fall on his sword, and show that he is a man.
