This energy will drive growth, be cleaner etc etc..all the touts are touting it.<BR/><BR/>Assume that is so. But what we forget is that the US gets a handle on the brake that can stop India. What none disputes is that the US can withold supplies, weasel out for any reason that the US wants. Since the deal is in the context of the Hyde Act, India cannot do anything that would help Iran against the US. Who defines what that is? Right: the US.<BR/><BR/>Iran now, anything else tommorrow. Make India jump anytime Washington says so, be ready to concede anything anytime the US says so, or we starve for energy. And we cannot do anything on our own that would stop this dependence.<BR/><BR/>I am not talking about the freedom to test further nukes or issues of pride and suzeranty. Nor do I hold a brief for the left; I conside the commies cancerous to the interests of India. Whatever I have said is only voicing my concerns for India.<BR/><BR/>The US is not our friend. They are of the same genre as the Brits who; as legend has it, cut the thumbs of the weavers of Dacca so they could sell dhotis made on Manchester to Indians.<BR/><BR/>We shoudl scrap this deal. Not because the left suddenly sounds patriotic, but because we should consider our interests, as Indians, for India.Anand Rajadhyakshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249215473418128418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-73807313247903275222007-08-17T15:26:00.000+05:302007-08-17T15:26:00.000+05:30Wait for next election. that is the democratic (si...Wait for next election. that is the democratic (sic) way of doing it.<BR/>If you have that srt of patience that is.<BR/><BR/>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR/>It is time to rid the nation of this shikhandi PM.sanskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187598044831118937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-38378306173730039022007-08-17T10:26:00.000+05:302007-08-17T10:26:00.000+05:30Has the TOIlet paper reported yet regarding the me...Has the TOIlet paper reported yet regarding the menu for the breakfast that Shikhandi MMS threw for Prakash Karat? Maybe one of the other rags reported it & I somehow missed it (naturally since I'm hooked onto all kinds of "fundamentalist","fascist","Hindu nationalist" sources of information !).<BR/>Otherwise, this is a glaring omission by the dhimmi Indian MSM, for whom reporting on food is an essential ingredient in all news.<BR/>For example, the TOIlet paper came up with this gem on Yasser Arafat's death:<BR/>"He loved Daal Makhani".<BR/><BR/>It is a refreshing change to see the Indian communists & seculars do anything good for the national <BR/>interest, even if for twisted reasons.<BR/> <BR/>This humiliating deal has to be scuttled at all costs & by all means.<BR/><BR/>I'm willing to live with a Sharad Pawar or Mayawati or Deve Gowda as PM of India on a temporary basis.<BR/><BR/>Governments can be changed, political parties defeated, policies altered - but it will be excruciatingly difficult to salvage national honour and sovereignty once it is surrendered by Shikhandi MMS to the Whites.<BR/><BR/>What a shame for the nation that an unelected man nominated by a foreign leader of 142 MPs is implementing the destruction of India as we know it.<BR/><BR/>And such arrogance to boot; to adamantly insist that the "deal is non-negotiable". <BR/>Why? How? Who says so?<BR/>It is time to rid the nation of this shikhandi PM.karyakarta92https://www.blogger.com/profile/12848906033912207523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-83902410411134668802007-08-17T09:00:00.000+05:302007-08-17T09:00:00.000+05:30What I don't understand is why the Left is opposed...What I don't understand is why the Left is opposed to the nuclear 'castration' of India. <BR/><BR/>Surely, the Maoists would want India to sign the agreement so that they become another Panama, Iran, or Libya subject to US sanctions. Meanwhile the Chinese can arm Pakistan with whatever and whenever they wish.TallIndianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804493195815876399noreply@blogger.com
