Yes, the nuclear '123' deal is very fishy. Most rediff and other readers don't know anything about the subject (I too don't know much of it, I'm a civil engineer) but go on barking to 'hang commies', to 'go on the progressive path by shaking hands with USA' and that the 'Communists receive commands from China', etc. What is the most important thing is to achieve self sustenance if not now in the near future. The very point (apart from scientific issues) that Rice, NRIs, George W. Bush... stand in the queue to convince India to say yes to the deal can be point of suspicion. I think India will go ahead with 123 agreement since people are fools.
