there is a gorundswell of support for the treaty in india. however, the supporters don't have all the facts before them, and they don't seem to care to want to have the facts. the indians don't seem to care for an honest debate on this issue. they have swallowed the media reports hook line and sinker in favor of the 123. this clearly suggests that indians are not really democratically oreinted people; they are lazy, too eager to trust the media that write what people rather want to hear. the indian people are scared what an honest debate might reveal the truth that they rather not hear, which suits congress just fine. but th ebjp party is the only one that has th emettle to face the truth as it is, and hence it is calling for vote or joint parliamentary committee probe.
the agreements in usa are notorious for what is called their fine print. instances are galore in usa that people have been burnt badly because of the fine prints in agreements. in toehr words, people believed one thing when they signed an agreement only to find out that they did not sign agreement they thought they signed. bjp is keenly aware of this american agreement-culture, and hence want sto probe the fine print. the indian people need to trust the bjp on this and must insist on full debate and vote. congress has never made a good international agreement that it can boast about. are you happy with the agreement that nehru had signed for india on kashmir? of course, not. since nehru the story of congress

If we do not get this deal we ll spend another 10 years in the dark without electricity till we have the technology to generate power by using Thorium. We still do not have the final tech to generate power through these Fast Breeder Reactors. We should take this deal to generate power and speed up the research on fast breeder reactors so that as soon as we have the production capabalities using thorium based technology we can just stop importing uranium. But right now we need Uranium based tech so that we get power and we are nt left behind and go back to the dark ages... and yah this deal is only civilian so no need to worry abt military nuclear instalations. n we are free to test nuclear weapons. the Hyde Act is just a cosmetic effect by the US government to shut the mouths of the Non proliferation hawks in washington who are opposing this deal tooth n nail... The US understand it has no leverage to stop India from testing weapons and it dosnt want to risk billions of dollars of investment by imposing nay sanctions. remember 1998 aftre the tests the imposed sanctions but had to bite the dust and remove sanctions after realizing it was their industries that were suffering.. so be cool and just use this deal to the maximum and do not let the commies Headless Chickens take India back to the dark ages.

Are you one of those 'not very bright people'? It is the BJP who are preventing a debate by their rowdy behaviour. are the BJP truthful? Don't forget that there were more scams when the BJP were in the government than in any other government's regime.
