RE:deal behind the deal
by AK on Jul 13, 2008 10:26 AM

Your first para is correct and to add to that just a checks & balance system, Risk Management.

Second para, there is no hurry. This was signed long time back. Do politicians in India ever debate issues on the parliamentary floor. They cannot even debate budget. This deal has Left (anti USA) BJP (if we did not do it, it can not be good) BSP, SP & other parties (what is in it for us) and Congress (we are the best) parties.

Finally some debate is taking place on media, forums etc.

If 123 agreement had been accepted (it has nothing bad for India, if anything it is contrary to the US Laws, i.e. Hyde Act) and permission given to go ahead with the IAEA, the inspectors and report writers, only then debate could take place.

#Even on this forum very few people are discussing issues, they are discussing their party loyalties.

There is no cap on testing, it does not affect nuclear weapons program.

Nuclear Energy should be considered as an alternative, despite knowing the fact it has some inherent problems, until other sources are harnessed (not commercially possible yet), e.g. wind, solar, water etc. Fossil fuel cannot remain as the only source. Hydro is limited.
