We desperately need the deal, india by itself is a so called secular country but in fact its a pseudo islamic republic, dont get me wrong, just have a keen eye to the events and you will come to a conclusion that it is in fact a pseudo islamic republic. The US knows that, what happens if within a few decades of massive reproduction by the islamic community complemented with a potential strike from pakistan ?, the muslims in India will extend their arms wide open for their brothers from the west, and eventually india will again become a mughal (islamic) republic, with the army and the potential weapons we have, "we" could be a threat to civilized world.
