Everybody knew USA would cancel any Nuclear deal if India does further test.
There would be sanctions with or without 123 agreement.
- It's to be seen if India is willing to do another test or not. Vajpayee told the whole world that India would not do further tests.
Still, the right to test lies with India.
If we are willing to go survive the sanction, then nobody can stop us from going for further test.
[ The fact is even if we go for test and there are sanctions, the world would come around after few years to do business with us, because we are destined to grow economically.
If USA can do business with communist china, USA can do business with economic powerhouse democratic India.]
This is known to the Indian Govt. as well as the opposition.
But Advani needs something to oppose, else he would be irrelevant.

In hindsight even a Mule is a genius ! The Congress party has been repeatedly saying that the Hyde Act has nothing to do with the N-Deal. But Burns had made it clear that the 123 must be "consistent with the provisions of the Hyde Act" What the Congress must admit is that the whole N-deal is built a around a web of lies and that makes it suspect . It is stupid to suggest that Vajpayee announced a voluntary ban on testing hence there is no problem for 123 stopping us from testing ? The crucial word is "voluntry". One can understand Lalu Prasad Yavad saying something like this , after all the 123 is not written in Bhojpuri script , but for Pranab Mukerjee and Kapil Sibal to suggest that Hyde Act has no bearing is deception at its best if not outright lying in the parliament!

- It's just not the Left or BJP, there are other parties even in USA who are opposing to the deal.
From the above article, it is obvious that even some members of NSG too are opposing, but would not go publicly against India or USA.
There are voices in USA that India is getting away with too many goodies.
So the US negotiators too need to answer to the domestic constituency that they have enough hold on the deal.
An agreement can not "appear" lop-sided.
There are enough ambiguities in the agreement ( kept deliberately by Indian negotiators) for India to escape and continue to do business.
One look at the agreement, and it would make any good "Indian Lawyer" smile.

This is what a typical psycophant will write. Check your facts that Vajpayee told whole world that India will observe voluntary moratorium-and that doesnt mean India wont do further tests. If you dont understand english-ask your english teacher.
