VERY THOUGHTFULL AND USEFUL ARTICLE. BUT VERY LATE. WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED AGAINST THE DEAL HAD IT BEEN A BIT EARLIER. YOU MUST HAVE OBSERVED THAT SOME OF THE SPEAKERS IN LS HAVE QUOTED EXTENSIVELY OPENION MENTIONED BY OUR NUCLEAR SICIENTIES AGAINST THE DEAL; THE ARTICLE WAS IN REDIFF ALSO.
NOW WE LOST EVERYTHING. WITH MONEY POWER AND 'SUPERIOR INTELEGENCE' US AND CHINA HAVE MADE THE INDIAN GOVT. A LAUGHING LOT. WE WILL BE HUMBLE SERVENTS OF US AND CHINA IN NEAR FUTURE.
THEIR NEXT STEP WILL BE THE 'SOVIET MODEL', THEN THE IRAQ MODEL. IAEA IS ALREADY IN THEIR POCKET TO DECLAR INDIA HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAMME. IF THEY CAN DO IT TO IRAQ, THEY WILL DO IT TO INDIA ALSO.
