Don't feel guilty. The Hyde act might come in the way of Indian energy security. The enrgy security is one of the most important national security issues in the 21st century. Once the deal is signed, the first order India will receive from the US is to cut off the relation with Iran. While Iran is no saint, India has to make that decision based on her own interest.
I am very pro-US and very anti-Commies. But knowing the history of the US relationship with other countries, the US will not heisitate to choke India using the Hyde act when it feels India is rubbing against the perceived US interest.
And there is no reason why this deal has to be done in a big hurry. I know Mr.Singh wants to go down in the history as the architect of this deal, but that is good for his personal achievement not necessariy for the country. If we afreaid the new US president might be aginst this deal, then we really should not hurry to get this deal done with the current president.
