Guys, we all suck. Whether we are Muslims, Hindus, or Christians. As long as we belong to the Asian sub-continent, we suck! Period ! The UPA government is desperate to sign the nuclear deal only for these reasons. a) A face saving act for Manmohan Singh b) Strategic relations with the United States c) for Manmohan Singh to talk big at the G8 Hokkaido summit.
If the UPA government is so concerned about energy then why is it dilly dallying over the Iran gas pipeline. By the same token (energy), which the UPA government is using, it should push harder for the pipeline!
At the onset, almost all Indian Scientists were against the nuclear deal. All the pro BJP'ites must get that into their psyche. How much ever they may bark and cry hoarse about Islamic terrorism which is not even related to this topic in the first place! Even if India agrees to become America's poodle, the BJP'ites must realise that Americas interests come first!!! A case in point would be the events after 9/11 when the BJP like a "loyal poodle" ran to the US and gave it a list of terror camps operating in the porus Pakistan-Afghan borders. And what happened ?I guess it was one of the tightest slaps the US gave India in 50 years when it flatly denied the assistance.Why? Because American interests come first !!! Then comes our half black and brown skin. And then comes the BJP, the saviour of India and the whole world. Yes, if it has become our habit to become slaves, then by all means we must go ahead.

The delay over Iran gas pipe line is due to uncertainty of the safety of the pipe line itself as it is running through an enemy country and they have demanded exhorbitant price for laying the pipe line itself.
Here also the solution is to enter into an agreement where we agree to pay for the gas delivered to us in our Country and not to bother about the pipe-line itself. It should be the head-ache of Iran and Pakistan.
Btw what BJP has got to do with the nuclear deal? It is the Congress party which is eager to conclude the agreement by hook or by crook.
No country has permanent enemies or permanent friends. That is the basic principle of diplomacy. Naturally US will act in her interest only. Of course Uncle Same got up to the threat of Islamic terrorism after a bomb exploded in their kitchen though we have been at the receiving end of the same for a long time. A neighbouring country always wanted to "bleed us through a thousand cuts" !
