For whatever the communists' approach in the nuke deal, this one is a true statement. People who have been on one side with George Bush have suffered and will suffer. In fact even in the US Bush is extremely unpopular. His own Republicans are distancing themselves from his policies. Those like McCain who support him are trailing in opinion polls. So it is not as if the british, the french, australians, japanese or russians hate him, his own Americans hate him.
India should only do what is in its self interest and not heed fools like George Bush. If we think the deal is good go right ahead, if not then stop now!

Kush Dashrath , We (india) is not dealing with Mr.Bush. We are dealing with the United States.Bush days are numbered.We will be dealing with Mrs.Clinton or Obama(hopefuly Mrs.Clinton) Mr. Bush is not a fool. No reson for name calling. He is friendly to India than any other US presidents since Kennedy.Our earlier foregin policy was handled by V.K Krishna Menon. He runined it. China's invation is a fine example .It happned under his watch.(he dont call him self a Commie , but his actions was very very pro-Soviet) It is about time to have good friendly relationship with the oldest democracy.

That is because of Mr Bush's IRAQ decisions. The Nuclear Deal has nothing to do with THAT decision. Infact we firmly stood our ground when we were presurized by US to send troops to IRAQ. the nuclear deal has a slight tilt towards the US, but it opens several doors for INDIA too. The only problem that the communists have is that it will stop the communist sentiment from taking a significant role in Global Politics by bringing in INDIA. Communists are more concerned about their ideology than the progress of the nation. If you ask them which specific clause of the Hyde act or the nuke deal are u worried about? their answer would always target the US and Indian alliance which can be dangerous. Come on Karat. We are not DUMB.
