The desparation of the US to hook the Indian nuclear power, after the recent nuclear test had caused it to come in terms and give more bonuses to the present Congress Govt compared to the BJP govt previously. If we hold up some more time without showing desparation, the US might have come down more, but our leaders foolishness had exposed the country to this pathetic situation. China would never have conceded to such a deal, and knowing that, US had extended itself to allowing china to have its say, and also extending itself in others such as technology and MFN (most favoured nation) status in trade. History shows that whereever America is allowed to have its way - that nation is converted into deserts - be it Somalia, combodia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Russia or pakistan. But countries which successfully resisted US had prospered - South and North korea, China, USSR, etc.
