India need not worry about accepting the 123 Agreement. India's immediate need is not a nuclear weapon, but nuclear energy for its economic growth. Once it has acquired the economic might (military might automatically follows economic might), it can master the nuclear technology (I am sure its scientists will deliver that capability, when it has enough money to spend on R&D). Anyways, use of nuclear weapon by any responsible nation in modern times is over-rated. I don't think any responsible nation (I mean the current so-called superpowers) has the courage to use a nuclear weapon. Its impact will be global devastation. Only US has used it one time, when it did not understand the impact of such an irresponsible act.

So do you think the US is helping us reach economic might so that one day we will screw them. Sorry to say they are cleverer than your thinking ability. This deal is full of landmines that pose "invisible" chains that will make India forever dependent on the west. Why do you think everybody from BJP, CPIM, Scientists, many people who care about the country are opposed to this deal, because they are stupid according to you?. Manmohan singh has become old and he is not thinking properly, furthermore he has never been a person that listens to anybody, that is why he never won a Lok sabha election because he could never relate to the people. He is a stubborn man that is going to lead India into Nuclear slavery. Write it down this will happen. The man will die one day but many Indians will live through his blunder. He will be another Nehru in Indias History of people that were more interested in prtraying a friendlier outlook of India while compromising the countries security.
