I have been intuitively against this deal, not conceptually, but in many of the things that it probably binds us by - but was never very clear on this. Thanks for making it very very clear. My compliments.
The winning of the trust vote and the way it has been won, are so distressing and depressing, that one is losing sight of the fact that now the govt is going to merrily push ahead with the deal, and frankly we can do jack-shit about it.
One wonders why the Americans are so keen to push thru this legislation, when it is obviously going to be difficult, just because ostensibly it is good for India. My grand-mom used to say that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Our string of strategic blunders in thelast 60 years of independence are so many, that it is not funny. I really wonder what can be done to reverse this.
