Pakistan has pleaded with China at the highest level not to let it down in the nuclear balance with India, Beijing is apparently working out a nuclear deal with Islamabad, in case the Indo-US nuclear agreement is okayed by the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).
"U.S. State Department Sean McCormack said late Wednesday that any weapons test by New Delhi would kill the deal". Further, India will have to abide by the principles laid down by the US. What does that mean? Should we look at crippling Pakistan knotting with china or should we SURRENDER to US because we do not have the balls to stand with Russia Alone?

New Delhi led Washington to believe that it would send troops to Iraq, but after a loud cry was heard from the Doubters and the Hostiles, the Vajpayee government backed off. Conversely, there are Indian expectations regarding American policy (notably, support for a UN seat and membership in the nuclear club). How America responds to these Indian demands will shape the balance of influence among these four schools. Burying US-Indian differences under labels ("natural allies" being one of them), does injustice to the prospect of two democratic states discussing their real differences and their real shared interests, and forging a relationship that is both durable and mutually beneficial.

The main point of our lack of resources to run our energy plans without international supplies of uranium is being lost in the egoistic stance about US restrictions on India.
US will not be able to enforce any of its perceived nonproliferation measures if Pakistan goes ahead with new any nuclear weapons plans in its own security interests. Keeping this in mind, we need to ensure supplies of nuclear fuel for our reactors which are already under IAEA safeguards.

Jo deal nahin karne ke liye itna mara mari kar rahe ho, wo deal kill ho jaye ga bolke itna dukh kyon?
If one day deal will be killed for some reason, let it be!!! By that time let the Indian scholars get some knowledge and expertises. Why you people are killing the deal without get start?
I dont see any logic of resentment of those opposing as they are trying to abort an unborn baby thinking that one day this baby will be died if we can not feed him/her!
