Dr Singh had promised (instead of showing the draft to the house for study) that the deal will be bound by international law and not by any US law like Hyde act. But, now Mr Berman has raised the hidden points in the deal and by responding (no deal will supercede the US domestic law) Bush administration has cleared the doubt that the deal is going to be a thorne in flesh for India. Also, By involving NSG (as Australia has clearly denied any neaclear supply to India and Rice is convincing her counterpart) US will add some conditions to bar India from doing further improvement (tests) in this field. That will happen in the name of agreeing NSG. Also, US wants to involve bigger community in this deal, so that, if India defies this deal and does any test in future they can put sanction more effectively. Also, Mr Berman has clearly raised the issue that there should not be any transfer of technology (as we are happy by thinking so) for enrichment, reprocess of nuclear fuel and production of heavy water. We should not forget that what India has achieved is on its own, not with the help of others. And what respect in the international community we are enjoying today is on the basis of our own development not on the transfer of knowledge. Let us not undermine the ability of our scientists and spend the money on our own research. Not to pay to US or NSG for their rsearch. One has pointed out that we have enough Thorium. Why not to do research with that & make our own fuel? Be gutsy.

MR. RAJESH DON'T GET WORRIED. WE NEED CONTINEOUS SUPPLY OF URANIUM TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY BASED ON THORIUM. INDIA WAS SO CLOSE TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY BUT THE RESEARCH WAS STOPPED BECAUSE LACK OF URENIUM SUPPLY. ONCE INDIA WILL GET CONTINOUS URENIUM SUPPLY IT IS MATTER OF 5 YEARS TO DEVELOP OUR TECHNOLOGY WITHIN 5 YEARS. ONCE WE DEVELOP OUR TECHNOLOGY WE CAN TERMINATE THE DEAL OR WE ARE FREE TO DO ANYTHING WITH OUR THORIUM. SO NOW NEED IS ONLY URENIUM WHICH WE WILL GET THROUH THIS DEAL. SO CHILL AND WAIT AND SEE WHAT OUR SCIENTIST CAN DO.

You want to believe what you want and have not really understood what is happening. Don't you think US folks from opposition party(Berman is a democrat whereas Bush is Republican) would like to delay this deal?
Also, this opposition by some US politicians is clearly proving that whatever MMS had said was correct. There is no tie-up mentioned between NSG waiver and US law! If it was mentioned so clearly, why would Berman be asking for clarifications?
Here is something more Berman had to say: " Meanwhile other countries might rush in to take advantage of a more lenient NSG waiver and do business with India on their own terms," Berman warned.
"This would give other countries an unacceptable head-start in securing commercial nuclear contracts with the Indian Government, thus placing U.S. firms at a competitive disadvantage," Berman wrote to Rice.
So please read with open mind and then decide what is good for India. Don't be blinded by commies propaganda so much that you fail to see things clearly.
