US thinks that they can deceive their way through the weak UPA government run by saint like Mr. Manmohan Singh. If they do succeeed in somehow getting this deal down India's throat, I am afraid that this will sow the seeds of greater suspicion than when US sent 7th fleet to Bay of Bengal in 1971. Indians have long memories.

You should go back 9 years to 1962 for longer memories. When China attacked India in 1962, our leaders appeal to the Soviet Union for help was turned down. The Soviet leaders said that they cannot turn against their brother (China) to help their friend (India). When our jawans were dying in the Himalayas (with no woollen clothes or weaponry -- thanks to Krishna Menon and Nehru), it was President Kennedy who not only sent us planes and supplies but also warned Pakistan not to take advantage of our vulnerability. Castigating the U.S for everything is very brave and politically correct, but let us not be ingrates> Jay Ravi

Lets not get started on how US has undermined India in the last 30 yrs. Remember Pakistan has been their key ally and nothing seems to have cahnged. Had it not been for US collusion with Pakistan, India and not China would be the number one economy in Asia. India haters still dominate US policy making.

well, 1962 debacle was all creation of Nehru and his inability to deal with China before that. He totally ignored all indications given by China right from 1959 agression and annihilation of Tibet.
