It is a fact that US Govt can very easily convince Indians trained (read bribed) earlier through the cushy jobs of World Bank, IMF etc. The entire lot of (Dr/Mr) ManMohan Singh, Montek S Ahluvalia, NK Singh, Rakesh Mohan, Sam Pitroda, P Chidambaram, RBI Gov. etc etc are oriented towards American Work systems and ethics. They are unable to look from the Russian, Chinese or Iranian outlook as they hardly know their ways and systems of governance or ploicy. Under the circumsatances they are going to speak the Bush or Clinton Language. They are not the ones as their earlier predecessors like Nehru and Saha etc who did not sign on the dotted line of NPT (Non Proliferation Treaty) - even Indira Gandhi did not buckle under the pressure of Nixon and LB Johnson. And here we are trying to bow down to the monopolistic Americans (who preach values and practice Abu Gharib, Guantamo, Iraq, Afganisatan and now maybe Iran). The falacy of the situation is when half of the Indian Polity is against the treaty then how can a country decide on a issue by a mere vote or two in the Parliament. The matter is more economic than political. The price for years of money paid in the form of postings and what not is being extracted from the Indian public. If Americans were so worried about the Indian nuclear energy scenario then let them first take back the sanctions appilied by Bill Clinton. A very small %age of GDP viz 0.05 - 0.1% if applied for solar or alternate enrgy res, prod wud solve this.
