We need to look only at our interests.The ves of N Deal far outweigh the -ves. Besides, we should buy off American technology and then use our brains to move forward from there. We will go up higher, faster and surer.
Pls also remember, the N deal releases many other areas where the dual use technology have hampered us for long. ISRO gains, Defence Industries gain and entire new sectors open up too.
Moreover, also consider that IPI gas passes thru Pak which is presently embroiled in a near civil war that will only worsen with time. Do we need to have another permanent headache? The entire Afghan, Iran, Pak area is a war zone & will remain so for atleast some time to come.
Besides, please remember it is always, NO WAY BUT ONWARDS.
