With Kalam and Brajesh Mishra ( and I hear even Advani and Vajpayee ) supporting the deal - the rest of the leadership has really let us down. This will really go down as a historical blunder - a move to support congress would have isolate casteist and pseudo-secular elements in Left front , BSP and Samajvadi party. Apart from securing plentiful energy for the future. The day of carbon fuels like oil, gas and coal are OVER. US is moving rapidly towards solar, wind and nuclear energy and in less than 10 years from now will have mastered the technology. The expensive and dirty oil will be used by third world countries.

good analysis Mr. Anurag, perhaps the best I have seen in this rediff forum so far .Exactly what Dr Manmohan has seen the vision of future power by nuclear fusion .Nuclear power is so low cost that even i gram of nuclear molecule of uranium can last 10 years to produce unierapted power .

Anurag Shrivastava, Wake up and understand that politics in a Democracy is not run on the principles taught in Sunday schools. Politics is all about winning and only about power. 1.What makes you assume that the Congress wants to isolate pseudo –secularists with or without the BJP? The UPA was created as an experiment to keep the BJP out of power and keep the pseudo–secularists in power 2.What makes up assume that the Congress wants to keep the caste based parties out of power. In 1999 it was with the same caste based party that Sonia Gandhi claimed the magic number of 272 to replace the NDA. Could she not have supported the NDA and prevented the caste based parties from coming to power with her in 1999. 3.Why did everyone from Kapil Sibil to Manish Tiwari scoff on the visual media when the RSS editorial suggested that BJP and the Congress tie up to save the country .? What you are suggesting is the principle opposition party support the UPA and bail them out only in the name of what you assume is a deal that is in the national interest . It never happens anywhere in the world. The Deal is good and it is important. But it is for the UPA to see it through. Remember how the NDA got the POTA passed! Be assured that if the NDA comes to power they will also see that the such a deal will go through . be also assured the Congress will find excuses to reject it !
