If any of these idiots hav any understanding of power n energy sector, they shud very well realise that to even cook 1 time meal for India's 1 billion plus people, we wont hav enough energy in next 5-10 yrs. In power sector, thanx to myopic policies of successive govts, across all parties and states, we r in deep shit and in next 3-5 yrs, all the generation will go over as there is neither enough capacity nor capable manpower to run the age old power houses. There has been no fresh investment, no new projects commissioned, and no new hiring of skilled quality engineers in this sector which requires 10-20 yrs to start giving benefits while consumption has increased and so has theft , irresponsibility, incompetence and corruption. Under these conditions, we have to choose, to be cowards and destroy ourselves, or choose to be bold and strong and engineer change by playing a greater role in the world and for ourselves.

If US would have seen this scenario in their strategic analysis, that they do for next 20-30 years, they wouldn't have even offered us this deal. They would have wanted India to remain weak. They offered us this deal because their analysis predicted India to be a superpower by 2020-2030. They don't want India to develop its military power.
Be prepared to inhabit mud-huts if you annoy USA and its allies the European Union, Japan, South Korea & Taiwan like those in Cuba, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia & North Korea do.
123 agreement is better than 12345 point agreement signed by the old PM Nehroo with China, got stabbed in the back and lost a lot of territory ! ha ha ha ha......

Only 2 nations in the whole world are opposing this Indo US nuclear deal, China and Pakistan.... China has the Most Favored NAtion status with the US and opposes the same status for India. China has got a similar nuclear deal with the US bt opposes the deal with India... Jyoiti Basu of CPM protested against Indian defence againt chinese invasion of india in 1962 and was jailed by Nehru for anti India activities. Basu went on to become the CM of bengal. Commies never condemn Chinese claim of arunachal Pradesh whn the people themselves want top be part of India.. CPM opposes Indian nuclear progress bt has no problems with Chinas nuclear arming of pakistan whch are targeted towards India and supports iranian nuclear program. The communists oppose ndustrialiazation in India and went on killing 100's of poor farmers in Singur and Nandigram tryin to grab farmers fertile land for setting up industries. Commies are ruling bengal for more than 30 years now and have reduced bengal from being the finest to being the poorest.. Only big industry in commie ruled states bangal and kerala are trade unions and their number one product is strikes and bandh. Commies vociferously opposed introduction of computers by rajiv gandhi, commies cald computers as evil and against national interest. Commies neva condemned chinese invasion of India in 1962. Commies do not recognize aksai chin in kashmir as part of india. And yes the commies got a new name now "Headless Chickens and Spineless Morons".
