Hi Sameer : Amen to all you have said. And the opposition to the US nucelar deal is because it will make India energy independent, which is not to the advantage of China and in turn, its satellite CPI-M. CPI-M's only agenda is to keep fomenting trouble.Else, they have ruled West Bengal for 30 years and it is a long time for them to have done something really good for the people. Jyoti Basu in his 90s has suddenly discovered that West Bengal needs capitalism to get ahead. What a clown and CPI-M says it would be okay if he is conferred the Bharat Ratna. He can be conferred only Communist Ratna and am sure, China, Russia and other commies will go to town on that issue.
