Your sympathy for Mukherjee and the Congress Party as a whole is a moot force driving you to support the Deal. But its not a simple arithmatic. Ultimately India will have to dismantle her nuclear arsenals. Us will no be able to force it on China. USA was mute to Tibet being swallowed by China. CIA dropped the plan of a counter-coup. China has a regimented political structure of military dictatorship of some sorts. To compare India with China is silly. However India is a vascillating nation and unfocussed on foreign issues. India all along mixed economics and foreign affairs with domestic vote bank politics and never really opend out to Israel and the USA.
