RE:US is not a friend
by Lalatendu Deo on Sep 07, 2007 11:44 AM

We are not going to get a position of strength by toeing the lines of the US. Whether we get gas from Iran or from Russia, that is we to decide. And fainting off when two senators writing to their Secretary of State, similar to two of our MPs writing to Parnab Mukharjee, is not done.

No we will never gain any thing, by toeing the line. Do you think, Anurag, the US will supply those technology, denial of which we are fearing of, by being a faithful ally. Is there any country that benefited this way?

There is none. Not even the UK.

It certainly is in the interest of the US if we stop going ahead with the Iran-India Pipeline. But is it our interest to do so? Whether we would be benefited anyway by doing so? No, we will have a big problem ahead if we do not go for securing our future needs.

We have a good mechanism to study which is better for us. Let it not be decided by any Tom or Dick, having a white skin.
