This 123 agreement would have been eagerly grabbed by China or Pakistan, they would gobble all N-fuel and throw inspections and treaty to the garbage can once they have enough bombs.India though is different.Our babus seriously follow international treaties as they are afraid of looking bad in front of foreigners, although they care two hoots about domestic laws. What else explains the fact that N-fuel is lying idle and being wasted at Tarapur as the US did not grant reprocessing rights. China or Pakistan would have diverted this fuel to the black market or made bombs a long time ago. This being the mentality of our babus, its best not to have clauses like 'for perpetuity', 'right to return' etc. There is a danger that some future government might shoot itself in the foot trying to appease some foreign power, when someone points out these clauses.
