friend from where did u get that idea will be subservient to five great powers. It is a chance for India to join the ranks on equal footing. We are too big to be played around, It is 2008 & not previous century. Sign the deal, get the Uranium for functioning reactors, construct only required few new reactors, get out of the tech denial regime, harness the best available tech in the world with moneypower, we have. Reduce poverty, uplift poor people by giving them good jobs, & move ahead. Donot question about Sonia, everybody has accepted her, Manmohan is certainly better than Karats. Kalam credentials donot require your views. USA can't control its stooge Pak, what can they do about us. one odd voting doesnot matter. Iran has never supported us, they didnot even condemn the attack by terrorists on our Parliament. They should never be allowed to produce a nuc bomb. As of now we are a pariah in the world affairs. Get into the main streamline, world will have to listen to us. USA supported pak earlier as we were in the other camp. That camp has lost its existence. Russia, china & more than 20 other countries have similar deals with USA. So donot worry about carrying out another blast, which maynot be actually required. we have carried out nuc blasts twice, that much deterrence should suffice. Let India get into the main stream and become a developed ctry at the earliest, even this will not be before 2030 atleast though
