Flawed thinking.
by Harsha K on Jul 18, 2008 05:54 PM

This article is totally flawed.

1. It presumes Congress and a lot of people who support N-Deal are either idiots or traitors, who are hell bent on trading away India's security.

2. It tells that we are signing an NPT by signing nuclear deal, where as Argument only shows how it'd be equal to signing CTBT (not NPT). NPT prohibits all nations (except 5) from having a military use of Nuclear technology. This apparently isn't the case with this deal.

3. CTBT is a good deal to sign in any case! The idea of a Nuclear weapon is that it is a threat. It is ridiculous to keep thinking we'll need more and more sophisticated ones is not understanding the nature of that weapon. It is the threat of a strike back that works as a deterent, not the sophistication. Even the crudest Atomic weapon can do that job. Besides most modern weapon testing is computerised simulations anyway. 123agreement allows us to get all dual use technology. Once the technology barrior is gone, we can get sumulation technology from countries like France/Russia.

So, what this article argues just doesn't make whole lot of sense.
