Hyde act will not matter
by Minto on Mar 04, 2008 10:48 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hyde act will not matter as long as Indo-US ties are strong. We need to have a very strong India lobby in Washington just like Israel. Americans are already dazzled by India. They depend on India for world class engineering and service indistries. Nothing will be an impedement as long as we give up our hang up about Arabs, Iranians and to some extent Russians. Just say yes, baby. France get more than 70% of electricity from nuclear source. With US technology we can do even better. Just dump the commies and call a snap election.

If you are right about US dependence on India, we don't need any treaties. We can tell them what to do. At least we should be trying to.

The Question is What about it When (ever) the ties get weaker ?

For sure there seems to be a strong lobby of USA in Delhi - which is official and working.

If we play it right, ties will be strong and remain strong. In USA, you just need to give contribution to presidential candidates, members of senate and congress. Give ample contribution and you will have access to them all the time. NRIs can India can play the role of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) for India. That is the group we need to target.

Should be:
NRIs can play the role of AIPAC for India

instead of:
NRIs can India can play the role of AIPAC

Remeber that laws are made for your enemeies in international relations. They are just like weapons. They use it against their enemies only.

While we shall be increasing the markets for the USA's defense, nuclear, space, shipping and R&D industries thru this Deal,

If we have to keep on bribing the US Senators, Isn't it a BAD paradigm ??

When russia collapsed AK47s and nuclear material is said to be sold out at throw away prices illegitimately.

If USA goes into recession, It will sell the Fuel with No Strings attached and without Media Attention.

Does any seller sell anything at cost price with out profit ?

Why to unnecessarily perennially Bribe foreigners, after buying things at a premium from the same people ?
